The Charleston–The Citadel basketball rivalry is an American college basketball rivalry between the Charleston Cougars and The Citadel Bulldogs. The two universities are separated by 1.9 miles (3.05 km) in Charleston, South Carolina, making it one of the closest crosstown rivalries in the country. The two schools faced off for the first time in 1901, and have played semi-regularly since then.[1]
