Previous Meeting
Campbell will look to avenge an earlier loss this season when the Cougars topped the Camels 90-67 on Jan. 27. Jasin Sinani set a then-career-high with 21 points to lead Campbell. CU shot 53% on the day but couldn't overcome a season-high 21 turnovers in the contest.

Charleston leads the league in 3 FGA and it showed that day as the visitors shot 12-39 from beyond the arc. Five different Cougars finished with double-digit scoring days.

Know Your Opponent
Charleston currently occupies the top spot in the league standings at 22-7, 13-3 with a two-game lead on second place. The Cougars are riding a hot streak and enter Thursday's game on a seven-game win streak.

Ante Brzovic leads the squad with 12.3 ppg, but it's a balanced lineup as five players average better than 9.0 ppg. Brzovic also anchors the interior with a team-high 6.3 rebounds per game. Reyne Smith is the biggest perimeter threat, shooting 37.5% from distance, the second-best mark in the CAA among qualified shooters.

Charleston averages better than 80 ppg as a team, and has topped 90 four times in league play.

Last Time Out
Campbell downed UNCW 105-100 in 2OT in arguably the game of the year in the CAA this season Monday night in Gore Arena. Anthony Dell'Orso scored 34 points and added 11 rebounds in his 7th double-double of the season.

Jasin Sinani poured in a career-high 27, including 13 in the overtime periods thanks to going 3-3 from beyond the arc.

The game was the most points Campbell has ever scored against a D1 opponent, the most points CU has ever allowed in win, and a Gore Arena record for combined points.

Looking Ahead
Campbell returns home Saturday for the regular season finale against NC A&T. The Camels will honor three seniors prior to the game: Alex Kotov, Gediminas Mokseckas, and Laurynas Vaistaras. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. at Gore.
