In addition, the first 300 Campbell students to arrive will be provided a free drink and either hot dog or popcorn, compliments of Aramark.  Doors will open at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:00 p.m. start.

Campbell returns to the friendly confines of Gore Arena Thursday when the Camels (9-9, 3-3 Big South) host old rival Charleston Southern (6-11, 1-5) in a 7 p.m. tip-off.
 
The Camels saw their 3-game win streak halted Monday in a 76-62 setback at Longwood. Isaiah Walton (27) and B.K. Ashe (25) combined for 52 points as the Lancers won for the 3rd time in 4 outings. Chris Clemons led Campbell with 28 points and Andrew Eudy added 13 for the Camels, who were held to season-low shooting (34%) and scoring totals.
 
Christian Keeling scored 22 points Monday, but Charleston Southern dropped its 5th-straight game in an 83-73 setback at UNC Asheville.  The Buccaneers allowed the Bulldogs to shoot 62 percent from the floor and never led.
 
Campbell leads the Big South Conference in field goal percentage (.494) - a mark that stands 22nd in the country.
 
Campbell is 7-3 at home this season and has won 6 of its last 7 at Gore Arena.  The lone setback was an 82-80 loss in OT to Gardner-Webb.  Charleston Southern is 2-7 in road games and has lost its last 5 away from home.
 
Junior Chris Clemons, the pre-season Big South player of the year, sits on top of the Big South (24.4) scoring charts and rates 4th nationally.  Clemons owns the nation's longest active double-figure scoring streak (66 games).
 
Sophomore Marcus Burk is 4th in the BSC scoring race (16.7) and is tops in field goal percentage (.522). Burk has scored in double digits 13 times in the last 16 outings.
 
Pre-season All-Big South guard Christian Keeling leads CSU in scoring (16.5, 5th in the league), rebounding (4.9, 15th), FG% (.441, 9th), and FT% (.842, 6th).
 
Charleston Southern leads the Big South in offensive rebounds (123) and is 2nd in rebound margin (4.), turnovers forced (16.3) and turnover margin (1.6)
 
Campbell's trio of guards -  Clemons (24.4), Burk (16.7) and Cory Gensler (8.9) - combine for 50.0 of CU's 81.2 points per outing and are the highest-scoring backcourt trio in the Big South Conference.  Longwood's Isaiah Walton (18.4), B.K. Ashe (13.3) and Charles Glover (8.7) are second (40.4).
 
Following Thursday's game, the Camels conclude their two-date home stand Sunday with a 2:00 p.m. start against Big South leader Radford.
