BUIES CREEK, N.C. – With seeding for the 2018 Big South Championship at stake, Campbell hosts Liberty Sunday in a 2:00 p.m. tip-off that will be televised by Stadium.
 
The Camels (14-13, 8-7) and Flames (17-11, 8-7) are tied for fourth place in the league standings, one game behind Radford (9-6) and three behind co-leaders UNC Asheville (11-4) and Winthrop.
 
Campbell is coming off a 72-53 loss Thursday at Radford. Chris Clemons scored 20 points, but the Camels shot just 37 percent from the floor.
 
Since falling to Campbell 94-85 on Jan. 23 in Lynchburg, Liberty has won 5 of its last 6 outings, including an 82-69 OT decision Thursday at Asheville.

Last month at Liberty, Clemons and Marcus Burk became the first teammates in NCAA Division I history to each make 10 three-pointers in the same game and the Camels out-gunned the Flames 94-85.  Clemons broke his own school record for points in a road game with 42, including 10-of-14 from 3-point distance, while Burk finished 10-of-16 from long range in a 32-point effort, one shy of his career high.  Campbell made 23-of-33 (.697) from long distance – shattering the school record of 16 triples.  CU opened the night on a 14-0 run and made its first 5 from long distance.
