Kevin Oleksiak and Mikko Koivisto join Hines with double-digit averages this season, netting 10.8 and 10.6 ppg, respectively.

Austin Dahn led the Bulldogs with 19 points in the losing effort, while Cameron Wells netted 13 points. Jon Brick also contributed 13 points off the bench for The Citadel. Wells and his 13.4 ppg leads the Bulldogs this season, and he is joined in double figures only by Dahn (10.9 ppg).

UNCG should win this one in dominating fashion, as no team is much colder than The Citadel right now. The Bulldogs will be in trouble from the opening tip, even at home.
