BUIES CREEK, NC – Clutch free throw shooting and a bit of bad luck cost the Bears their first conference loss of the season, as Campbell rallied to knock off the Orange and Black by a 56-50 scoreline in Buies Creek on Sunday. The two teams traded the lead throughout, and Mercer found itself up a bucket with as few as two minutes left to play, but the Camels would hit six of eight free throws inside the final 120 seconds to claim their first A-Sun win of the season.
