Scouting The Citadel

The Citadel is 4-8 on the season following a 79-68 victory over Brevard College on Wednesday night. The Bulldogs, who will play just three games between Dec. 7 and Jan. 1, returned four starters and eight letterwinners from a team that went 8-22 and 5-13 in the Southern Conference a year ago.

The Bulldogs are coached by Chuck Driesell, who is in his fourth season as the coach of the Bulldogs. He comes from one of the legendary college basketball families, as his father Charles ‘Lefty’ Driesell won over 700 games in the college ranks. Chuck Driesell played at Maryland for his dad and also served as an assistant coach at Maryland, Georgetown and James Madison.

 

The Bulldogs returned to action from a 11-day break, downing Brevard College, 79-68. In that game, Marshall Harris III had 22 points to place three Bulldogs in double figures. Matt Van Scyoc had 21 points and seven rebounds, while Brian White added 13 points and a game-high 11 rebounds. The Citadel out-rebounded Brevard, 35-25, and converted 31-of-33 from the foul line. The Huskers will be the third BCS-level opponent the Bulldogs have faced following losses at Tennessee and Wake Forest in November.

 

The Bulldogs rely on a nine-man rotation that has four players averaging at least 8.7 points per game. The Citadel is averaging 72.7 points per game, but is allowing opponents to score 75.6 points per contest. White, a 6-foot-6 forward, averages 15.1 points and 7.3 rebounds per game and is shooting 58 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the line. Sophomore Matt Van Scyoc, a 6-foot-6 guard/forward is averaging a team-high 15.1 points per game. He has a team-high 23 3-pointers and is shooting 90 percent from the foul line. The Bulldogs have only two players taller than 6-foot-7, freshmen Tom Koopman and Nate Bowser.
