FINAL RECORD
10-20, 5-11, tied for 10th in Atlantic Sun.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
Campbell was one of just two conference teams to beat league champion Belmont during the regular season, posting an 83-75 home victory on Jan. 5. The Camels finished third in the Atlantic Sun in rebounding margin (plus-1.5 per game) and won the battle of the boards in 19 of 30 games.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Camels finished the season with only eight scholarship players on the active roster because of the departure Ruell Pringle, the dismissal of Eddie Brown and a season-ending shoulder injury to Cole Dewey. During their season-ending eight-game losing streak, they shot 30 percent (44-of-146) from 3-point range.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"It will be the first time I've had the luxury of a legitimate college basketball facility. We'll get a much better cut of beef and that will make us a much better different basketball team. It won't give us a competitive edge, but it will help level the playing field." -- Campbell head coach Robbie Laing to the Fayetteville Observer.
