BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Devante Jones scored 13 points in the final five minutes as Coastal Carolina pulled away late to beat Campbell in a non-conference battle between former Big South rivals Friday night.
The game was the first meeting since January of 2016 before the Chanticleers left the Big South for the Sun Belt Conference. Coastal Carolina now has won six of the last seven meetings between the schools, but Campbell leads in the all-time series, 22-20.
Campbell briefly took the lead with 7:02 left on Isaac Chatman's jumper, but Tyrell Gumbs-Frater hit a 3 to put Coastal Carolina up by two.
