As of February 22, 2017; 

The 2016–17 The Citadel Bulldogs basketball team represents The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bulldogs are led by second-year head coach Duggar Baucom and play their home games at McAlister Field House in Charleston, South Carolina. They again play as a member of the Southern Conference, as they have since 1936–37.

The Bulldogs finished the 2015–16 season 10–22, 3–15 in SoCon play to finish in last place. They lost in the first round of the SoCon Tournament to Mercer.

Several players departed the program, 2 due to graduation, 2 more as graduate students completing their eligibility, and 2 to transfer.

With many departures, The Citadel added 10 new players for the 2016–17 season. This marks another step in moving from a slow pace to the Baucom-led uptempo style of play. At least one player changed his plans as a result of a photo that surfaced on social media which showed cadets dressed as ghosts, but widely interpreted as similar to Ku Klux Klan garb.

The Citadel travelled to play opponents in the Pac-12, Big 12, and ACC, and host an exempt tournament to be known as the Holy City Hoops Classic.
