MSC Basketball: Campbellsville 75. Shawnee State 56 Campbellsville sinks SSU to set up MSC title bout with Georgetown Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Chris Megginson / Campbellsville University Sports Information CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY – All of the “what ifs” fell in line perfectly Thursday night, February 26, 2015, to set up a Mid-South Conference co-championship game at 3pmCT/4pmET, Saturday, February 28, 2015 between No. 7 Georgetown College and No. 9 Campbellsville University in CU’s Powell Athletic Center, 203 Tiger Way, Campbellsville, KY. Prior to the game, the Tigers will honor seniors D’Von Campbell, Darius Clement, Eric Gaines and Damontre Harris. If Campbellsville pulls off the upset Saturday, it will be only the second regular season MSC title for the CU Tigers, with the first coming in 2009-10, which was also the last time both the CU men and women claimed conference crowns in the same year. Campbellsville 75. Shawnee State 56 Campbellsville ran away with a 75-56 win over Shawnee State University to avenge a road loss from earlier in the season, while No. 3 University of Pikeville and Georgetown both were upset on the road Thursday evening. The winner of Saturday's game will share the MSC season crown with UPike and hold the No. 2 seed in the MSC Tournament. CU controlled Thursday's home game with Shawnee State, holding the Bears' offense to less than 60 points, less than a week after holding St. Catharine College in the 40s. Campbell helped open the offense for Rob Robinson and Miles Rice to knock down two 3s and Elliot Young, Quin Richardson and DeMarcus Page each had one. The outside shooting also opened up the post for Damontre Harris, who finished with his 14th double-double (12 points, 15 rebounds) and added two assists and two blocks. Eric Gaines led the Tigers with a career-high eight assists and had only one turnover. Campbellsville never trailed Thursday. Campbell hit back-to-back 3s to break a 14-14 tie and spark a 10-0 run. The Tigers never looked back. Sean Elliott, who led Shawnee State with 19 points, cut the margin to five points, 25-20, with a 3 at the 8:44 mark in the first half, and Nick Tingle later made it a four-point game, 26-22. However, CU closed the final six minutes of the first half on an 11-4 run to lead by 11 at the break, 37-26. The lead only continued to grow in the final 20 minutes, with Campbell hitting four of the Tigers' eight second-half 3s. An early Harris dunk gave him his double-double, while Richardson's lone 3 pushed the Tigers ahead by 20, 57-37, with just under 10 minutes to play. Shawn Johnson and Rice both helped make it a 21-point game, and then CU topped out at a 22-point margin twice in the final two and a half minutes. Shawnee's closest margin in the second half was 12 points, 47-35, with 12:54 to play. Campbellsville out rebounded the Bears 38 to 26. This story was posted on 2015-02-27 05:05:24
