    Schedule

    The Bulldogs played games against Tennessee, Wake Forest, Navy, and Nebraska, in addition to the All-Military Classic featuring VMI, Army, and Air Force. The home slate included fourteen games, including cross-town rival College of Charleston and in-state rival Presbyterian. The SoCon schedule included home and home series with Appalachian State, Davidson, Furman, Georgia Southern, Western Carolina, and Wofford. Chattanooga and Samford visited McAlister Field House while The Citadel traveled to Elon and UNC Greensboro.[5]

    The Bulldogs endured a 17-game losing streak, longest within one season in school history, before winning their final two regular season games. The Citadel then claimed just their twelfth ever SoCon Tournament win over UNC Greensboro before recording their sixty first tournament loss against Wofford in the quarterfinals.
