The Citadel Bulldogs is the name of the College Basketball team that represents The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. The program is classified in the NCAA's Division I, and the team competes in the Southern Conference South Division. Former head coach Chuck Driesell was not retained after the 2014–15 season.Duggar Baucom was introduced as head coach on March 30, 2015. Baucom was the head coach at military rival VMI.
The team has never won a regular season or Southern Conference Men's Basketball Tournament championship or participated in the NCAA Tournament. They are one of only four (with Northwestern's first tournament bid in 2017) original Division 1 teams (since 1939) to have never made the NCAA tournament. The team has made one postseason appearance, playing in the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, falling in the first round to eventual champion Old Dominion. In 1927 the Bulldogs claimed the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association Tournament title, defeating Mercer for their only conference championship.
The Bulldogs play their home games at the on-campus McAlister Field House, a 6,000 seat arena formerly known as The Armory. The arena was heavily renovated in 1989. During the summer of 2011, The Citadel completed additional renovations to the Field House, building a new floor and revamping the Bulldogs locker room. Since the 1989 renovations, the Bulldogs have played before full capacity on three occasions: Duke (1991), South Carolina (1997), and College of Charleston (1999). Like all Citadel athletic teams, the Bulldogs utilize strength and conditioning, medical, and video spaces in Seignious Hall.
