The Bulldogs are coming off a two-point win in Johnson City over the ETSU Bucs, breaking a three-game losing streak that the Bulldogs were in. Hayden Brown's 28 points marked his highest point total since the North Carolina Central game on Dec. 6, making 12-of-19 from the floor and 3-of-5 from 3-point range with three assists. It's his sixth 20-point game of the season and 18th of his career.
Embrace the Pace. That is what head coach Duggar Baucom asks his teams to do every year, “Duggarball” as it has come to be known is a fast-paced, up-and-down style that preaches running in transition, shooting quick open 3s, and putting pressure on opponents
The Citadel does most of its damage in transition, where it ranked 6th nationally in percentage of FGA last season per Hoop-Math. Instead of stopping opponents, the idea is to simply outscore them. Last season the Bulldogs took care of the ball better than they ever have under Baucom, thanks in large part to JUCO PG Tyler Moffe. His return should set them up for steady handling once again in 2021-22.
The biggest returner this season is forward Hayden Brown, a 1st Team All-SoCon selection last season who led the league in rebounding and ranked second in scoring. Brown is a physical, strong, athletic forward who can score from anywhere and bully weaker opponents to the cup. He led the conference in fouls drawn per 40 minutes in 2020-21 and ranked 2nd in FT rate. Simply put, Brown is a beast who will be on the shortlist for SoCon POY this season.
