BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Courtney Pigram scored a game-high 24 points and dealt eight assists to lead five East Tennessee State players in double figures and send the Buccaneers to a 100-76 Atlantic Sun men's basketball win over Campbell Tuesday night at Carter Gym.

The Bucs (11-7, 5-1) shot 68 percent from the floor in the second half and extended a 15-point half-time lead to as many as 29. Campbell (7-7, 2-2) lost for the first time at home this year after posting six-straight wins at Carter Gym.

Brad Nuckles added 22 points and 13 rebounds for ETSU, while Mike Smith came off the bench to score 14. Eryk Thomas and Andrew Reed each chipped in 12 points. Freshman Dequan Twilley dealt a season-high 10 assists.

A sophomore from Memphis, Pigram made 6-of-8 threes on the night, including 4-of-5 in the first half. ETSU finished the contest hitting 56.9 percent (37-65) of its shots as a team, 9-of-16 from 3-point range (.563).

Jonathan Rodriguez led the Fighting Camels with 15 points on 6-of-11 shooting and eight rebounds. Stephon Griffin added 11 points. Campbell connected on only 37 percent of its shots on the night (23-62) - a season-low total - and hit just 5-of-19 three-pointers (.263). CU entered the game shooting 47 percent from the floor and averaging 85.1 points per game, both tops in the A-Sun.

Campbell rode a 12-2 run to a 23-19 advantage with 6:53 left in the opening period. Colin Hunt's bucket with 4:39 to play in the first period pushed the Camels in front 27-26. However, Reed's jumper started a 14-0 ETSU burst that the Bucs stretched to a 19-3 first-half ending rally. ETSU hit 7-of-11 three-pointers in the opening period.

The Fighting Camels, who were playing their fourth game in seven days, never were able to get closer than 13 in the final period. Campbell entered the game averaging 97.5 points through its first six home games, but fell 21 shy.

Campbell returns to action Saturday at Mercer in a 7:00 p.m. start. ETSU hosts North Florida Saturday at 4:00 p.m. [Box Score]
