The Citadel Bulldogs

College Basketball

The Bulldogs lost 22 games in 2025-26 and finished 2.28 units up on the moneyline. Seven wins as underdogs, the longest at +575 at Wofford, paid for everything else.

Losing record, winning ticket

The Citadel were favored once and got points in 28 games, a count eight Division I teams exceeded and six equalled. Seven of those 28 ended in wins, and the prices did the rest: a level stake on the Bulldogs in every priced game returned 2.28 over 29.

The upsets came big. 93-90 at Wofford at +575 on 28 February. 77-75 over Furman at +470. 78-71 at Chattanooga at +380. Together with four smaller ones, the seven underdog wins paid 22.6 units against 21 underdog losses.

January

The month that made the season was January: 5-4 straight up, 7-2 against the spread, 7.13 units. The Furman win sat in a run of four wins in five games, which also took in VMI twice and UNC Greensboro. It began on 10 January with 79-77 over Western Carolina at +245.

November had gone the other way: 2-6, both wins over non-Division I opponents, and no cover in five lined games.
