About The Field
NC Central
The Eagles enter the week with a 2-3 record, both wins over non-D1 opponents and two of the three losses to Power 5 opponents (No. 1 Kansas and Georgia). NCCU dropped a close road game at Longwood Saturday, 66-73. Redshirt-senior guard Ja'Darius Harris leads the charge with 15 ppg, and is one of three Eagles averaging 10+ points.

The Eagles are led by LeVelle Moton, and were picked to finish third in the MEAC preseason poll.

Idaho State
The Bengals carry a 2-2 record with them to Buies Creek, also with a pair of non-D1 wins and losses to St. Thomas and Iowa State. Idaho State squares off with The Citadel Monday afternoon before facing the Camels Tuesday night.

Miguel Tomley leads the scoring at 12.8 ppg, joined by Maleek Arington in double figures with 10.8 ppg. The Bengals are led by fifth-year head coach Ryan Looney and were picked to finish sixth in the Big Sky preseason poll.

The Citadel
The Bulldogs come to Buies Creek with a 1-3 record, including a pair of losses to NC State and Boston College. The Citadel picked up its first win of the season last Thursday with a home victory over North Greenville. Campbell won't see the Bulldogs until the final game of the Creek Classic on Wednesday at 5 p.m.

AJ Smith paces the Bulldog offense scoring 14.3 ppg to lead three players averaging double figures. Quinten Millora-Brown has proven to be a force on the glass, averaging 9.8 rebounds per game on the young season.

The Citadel is led by head coach Ed Conroy, now in his second stint at the helm for the squad. The Bulldogs were picked to finish ninth in the SoCon this season.

Last Time Out
Campbell fell 44-60 at Virginia Tech last Wednesday night in Blacksburg, Va. Campbell shot only 19% in the first half but found itself trailing by just 10 at the break. Campbell chipped away at the Hokies' lead in the second half to be down only 8 with under five minutes to play, but couldn't draw any closer.

Elijah Walsh turned in career-highs with 10 points and six rebounds to lead the Camels on the night.

Looking Ahead
The Camels will have six days off around Thanksgiving, with the next contest coming Wednesday, Nov. 29 at Jacksonville. That game will be a 6 p.m. tip on ESPN+.
