† 2017 SoCon Tournament winner |
The 2016–17 The Citadel Bulldogs basketball team represented The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina in the 2016–17 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Bulldogs were led by second-year head coach Duggar Baucom and played their home games at McAlister Field House in Charleston, South Carolina. They played as a member of the Southern Conference (SoCon), as they have since 1936–37. They finished the season 12–21, 4–14 in SoCon play, to finish in a tie for eighth place. They defeated Western Carolina in the first round of the SoCon tournament to advance to the quarterfinals where they lost to UNC Greensboro.
Previous season
[edit]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.
Preseason
[edit]Departures
[edit]Several players departed the program, two due to graduation, two more as graduate students completing their eligibility, and two to transfer.[1]
Name | Position | Class | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
Qwandell Newton | F | FR | Transfer |
Connor Schroeder | F | FR | Transfer |
P. J. Boutte | G | GR | Exhausted eligibility |
Derrick Henry | G | GR | Exhausted eligibility |
Bobby Duncan | F | SR | Graduated |
Quinton Marshall | G | SR | Graduated |
Recruiting
[edit]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.[2][3] 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.[4]
