The Citadel owns just five wins on the season, and when you consider four of those have been to teams outside Division-1, that leaves them with one win. This is a team that shoots poorly and doesn't get out and defend either. So why do we like them? It is about value, not winning or losing and getting major double-digits at home is always enticing. Last year’s team won just four D-1 games - two in OT. That team dropped just two conference games at home by 15+, and one of those was to Davidson who ran the table. Citadel has lost by more than 15 points at home in conference play just five times in the last three years. The combined record of those teams is 96-55, with only one of them having a losing record like Charleston. Their average home loss over this period is by 10.6 points per game. Their road mark stands at 22.2 ppg over the same period. Charleston has dropped four straight on the road, and is 3-7 SU out of their own gym on the season, so they certainly don't fit the profile of a team that comes in here and blows out The Citadel. Value lies with the home team.
