BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Charleston Southern men's basketball came up short on the road Wednesday night, falling 67-51 to hosts Campbell.
 
KELLY LEADS THE WAY
Sophomore Taje' Kelly led the way for Charleston Southern, turning in an efficient 6-8 showing from the field for a team-high 12 points. The big man added six rebounds as well, one shy of the team high in that category as well. Kelly stood as the only CSU player to hit at least half of his attempts from the floor.
 
KEY PIECES MISSING
The Bucs were without two starters and a key reserve Wednesday night, as leading scorer Claudell Harris Jr. and sophomore Tyeree Bryan were both out for the game as well as Reginald Duhart Jr. Harris Jr. is averaging just under 18 points per contest and Bryan entered the night just a tick under 10 points per game.
 
SHARING THE ROCK, AGAIN
Charleston Southern turned in an impressive effort with sharing the basketball, something they have done well with all season. The Bucs recorded 10 assists on 20 made field goals from the field, marking another contest that they record assists on at least half of their made shots. Four different Bucs recorded multiple dimes, paced by RJ Johnson's four.
 
THE SECOND TIME AROUND WOES
The Campbell contest marks the sixth different opponent the Bucs have seen for the second time this season. Longwood stood as the first in repeat opponents, a contest that CSU was able to leave with a win, but the other five have not been as kind to the Buccaneers. Two of those situations had the Bucs take the first meeting but fall in the return trip.  

UP NEXT
The Bucs return home for their next affair as they Winthrop makes the return trip to Charleston Saturday, February 18. The action is slated for a 5:30 p.m. start inside the Buc Dome and will stand as the Coaches vs. Cancer game for Charleston Southern.
