BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Dominique Klein scored all 15 of his points in the second half and hit the go-ahead three-pointer with 54.4 seconds to play and Campbell earned a 69-66 comeback win over Mercer in Atlantic Sun men's basketball action on Thursday night at Carter Gym.

Klein, who was held scoreless while picking up three first-half fouls in just three minutes played, finished with his sixth double-double in the last eight games after pulling down 10 rebounds. Corey Parker added 12 points off the bench for the Camels (3-20, 3-13), including a runner in the lane with 3.3 seconds left that provided the final margin.

"Dominique's been incredible down the stretch," said first-year Campbell head coach Robbie Laing. "His energy level has been off the charts and his leadership tremendous. But he's been playing like this for awhile now, so you come to expect it."

James Odoms, who entered the game shooting 56 percent from 3-point range, released a 20-footer at the buzzer, but it bounded off and the Camels ended a three-game losing streak, while keeping their A-Sun tournament hopes alive.

With four games remaining in the regular season, Campbell stands two games behind Florida Atlantic for the eighth, and final, seed in next month's A-Sun Championship tourney at Nashville. FAU fell to 10 in the league after losing at home to Stetson 76-72 in double overtime on Thursday.

Mercer (10-14, 7-8) fell to 0-12 on the road this year and after hitting 6-of-14 treys in the first half, was limited to just one in four attempts in the final stanza.

Andrew Brown was the lone Bear player in double figures with 14 points. Odoms and Delmar Wilson finished with seven apiece.

The Bears also played the final 27:53 without leading scorer Scott Emerson, who went down with a left ankle injury in the first half after scoring three points and grabbing six rebounds in eight minutes. Emerson entered the game averaging better than 16 points and eight boards.

Campbell shot an even 50 percent from the field (16-32) in the second half, 38 percent on the night (27-71). CU hit 4-of-7 treys in the final stanza, and committed a season-low 11 turnovers. Mercer finished the game shooting 37 percent from the floor, a season low for a Campbell opponent.

Mercer held a slight 45-42 advantage on the glass, but Campbell outscored the Bears in the paint 38-18 and turned 19 Mercer turnovers into 15 points.

Bobby Hansen's 3-point play with 0.3 seconds remaining in the first half gave the Bears a 34-31 lead at the break. Campbell shot just 28 percent from the floor in the opening period, but stayed close by committing just three turnovers in the first 20 minutes.

Mercer led by as many as 10 points in the second half and held a 53-44 advantage with 10:15 left when Jay January scored on a backdoor cut. Klein then capped a 13-4 Campbell run over the next 3:52 with his first triple of the night to bring the Camels even at 57-all.

The Mercer lead was 66-61 after Odoms' lay-in with 2:47 remaining, but those were the final points of the night for the Bears. Klein hit the second of two free throws, with 2:34 left, then stole a reversal pass and went in for an uncontested dunk to cut the gap to 66-64 with 1:49 to play. Klein then put the Camels ahead for the first time since early in the game with a triple from the key with just over 54 ticks left.

Hansen missed in the paint on the next possession and Lee Marsh rebounded setting up Parker's driving bucket. Mercer deflected the ball into the backcourt and Campbell called timeout with 10 seconds to go, six on the shot clock. After the ball was inbounded to Russ Gibson, Parker took a handoff in the backcourt and weaved down the right flank, into the paint and banked in a short jumper for what proved to be the final margin.

Campbell and Mercer played a typically tight game. Five of the last six meetings between the schools have been decided by six points or less. Last month, Mercer defeated the Camels 92-86 at Macon, Ga.

"It's great to beat Mercer, but right now, with the kind of year we've had, it feels great to beat anybody because we're still in the running for a tournament bid," said first-year head coach Robbie Laing, whose Camels suffered a pair of three-point road losses at Stetson and Jacksonville last week.

The Fighting Camels host Georgia State on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. in their final home game of the year. CU plays its last three games of the regular season on the road, including a Feb. 26 date at Florida Atlantic. [Box Score]
