Breaking it down: Campbell dominated the glass in a 94-66 win over the North Carolina A&T men's basketball team Thursday night at the Pope Center/Gore Arena. Two Camels recorded double-doubles led by Darren White who finished with 33 points and 11 rebounds.

Eric Griffin added 24 points and 13 boards as the Camels outrebounded the Aggies50-20. As a result, Campbell had a 30-10 edge in second chance points. Griffin also had five blocks.

The Campbell blowout was subtle. DaMetrius Upchurch's baseline dunk with 16:34 remaining in the game cut the Camels lead to one at 50-49. Camel went on a 9-2 run over the next five minutes, but Marc Hill's 3-pointer kept the Aggies close at 59-54.

Over the next six minutes, the Camels outscored N.C. A&T 25-4 to take an 84-58 lead with 5:23 to play.

"I'm disappointed because we played so well for 30 minutes," said N.C. A&T head coach Jerry Eaves. "We just have to fix the last 10 because I truly thought we were going to win the game at the 10-minute mark. I've never seen a team take such a slide so quickly."

Nic Simpson led the Aggies with 17 points on 3-for-9 shooting from 3-point range.   

The keys to the Aggies loss:

• North Carolina A&T was hurt by not grasping the basketball. Almost every loose ball opportunity ended up in the hands of a Campbell player. The Camels used those loose ball chances to get out in the open floor to score 16 fastbreak points.
• Eaves is confidence the Aggies will fix their rebounding woes. So far this season they have been outrebounded 153-86.
• The Aggies had trouble with Camels' zone defense, and shot 34 percent from the floor. Eaves said the focus during the preseason has been on attacking the man-to-man. As the season progresses, the Aggies will have a better command on beating the zone, he added.
• Austin Witter sat out his second straight game with an injury.
• The Camels had three made 3-pointers over its first two games of the season. They hit eight on Thursday.

Standout Performance: Nic Simpson hit all eight of his free throws and is now shooting 92 percent on the season.

Unsung:  Head coach Jerry Eaves is looking to settle his rotation. Juniors R.J. Buck and Jean Louisme look to be in the mix as reserves. Louisme finished with 10, including a 2-for-5 night from 3-point range, and Buck made three impressive slashes to the basket to end the game with nine.

What did he say?: "We have a young team with a lot of talent. We just have to get everybody healthy and in condition. We just didn't attack the basket, and we weren't looking inside to attack the basket. When we did, I know we missed at least 10 layups."

The next opponent:  The Aggies play their home opener Saturday night at Corbett Sports Center against Chicago State at 7. The game will follow the Aggies' home football game against N.C. Central at 1:30 p.m.
