- The second of Dante Kearse's two first half threes put The Citadel up 14-12 early.

- Back-to-back layups by Sola Adebisi cut the margin to three, 34-31, but the Camels answered the Bulldogs' proficient end to the half to hold a six-point advantage.
- A Camels' 11-0 run pushed the difference to 15, 47-33, two and change into the second half.
- The Bulldogs trimmed the margin to 49-41 but the Camels responded with a three before extending the edge to 16, 58-42, at the 11:49 mark.
- A 7-0 Campbell run made it a 77-49 affair with 5:39 to go before the Camels closed out an 86-58 win.
