BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Garfield Blair scored 17 points and visiting Stetson held off a late Campbell charge to secure a 57-52 Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball victory Saturday at Carter Gym.

The Hatters led by as many as 14 early in the second half before the Camels drew within three (53-50) on Reggie Bishop's triple with 2:26 to go. However, the Camels were unable to close the gap further by missing four shots and committing three turnovers in the last 1:45.

Blair made just 5-of-14 shots, but hit 7-of-9 free throws for Stetson (10-11, 5-2), which has won six of its last seven contests. A.J. Smith added 14 points, while Tim Lang had nine. Sheldon Oliver finished with eight rebounds.

Reggie Bishop led Campbell (8-11, 3-4) with 21 points on 8-of-12 shooting from the field and nine rebounds. Sophomore forward Jonathan Rodriguez, who entered the game as the A-Sun's leading scorer at 21.8 points per game, was held to a season-low 11 on 3-of-11 shooting. He tallied only two points in the final half on a pair of foul shots with 4:12 to play.

A year ago, Rodriguez averaged 27.5 points in two games against Stetson.

Stetson closed the first half on a 10-2 spurt and took a 34-23 edge into the dressing room when Smith canned a 22-footer at the buzzer.

Lang's bucket in the paint pushed the Hatter edge to 45-34 with 11:45 to play, but the Camels responded with six-straight points to close within 45-40 on Bishop's jumper with 6:48 to go.

Despite the fact that the Camels limited Stetson to 27 percent shooting from the field (6-22) in the second half (35 percent for the game), the Camels could not finish the comeback. CU hit just 5-of-11 from the line in the final period, while the visitors made 10-of-12 in the same span, 18-of-23 for the game.

Campbell shot 38.3 percent from the floor and matched its season-low scoring output (52 at South Carolina on Nov. 28). The Hatters were able to convert 24 Campbell turnovers into a 19-11 advantage in points off miscues.
