Series History
Western Michigan and Campbell will meet for the first time ever on the hardwood. That marks the third straight first-time opponent for Campbell to open the 2025-26 campaign.

Scouting The Broncos
It's been an up-and-down start to the season for WMU through two games. The Broncos opened the season with a home win over Coastal Carolina, before falling 85-81 to DII Northwood on Thursday night.

The Broncos return just three players from a season ago under fourth-year coach Dwayne Stephens. The squad was picked to finish 10th in the MAC preseason poll.

Last Time Out
The Camels dropped a close one, 73-65, Thursday night at West Virginia. Campbell never led, but also never trailed by more than 10 and kept it at a four-point game with under two minutes to play.

Chris Fields Jr. turned in a double-double with 10 points and 15 rebounds, while Dovydas Butka paced the scoring with 14 points.

Campbell struggled shooting from distance (2-14 3FG), but controlled the interior, outscoring the Mountaineers 34-26 in the paint and outrebounding them 40-36.

Looking Ahead
Campbell hosts Barber-Scotia Thursday night at 7 p.m.
