Matchups: Campbellsville vs. John Brown

Campbellsville (5-0) is coming off a win in its home opener on Monday, Nov. 21, as the Lady Tigers ran past No. 21 Talladega, 100-57. Emily Fox led CU with 25 points, while Madison Clements scored 23 – 20 of those in the first half, and Jordan Doram matched her career-high with 15 points and nine rebounds.

Both Clements and Fox are shooting the lights out to start the season, hitting 44 and 43 percent from deep, respectively. Clements leads CU and is second in the Mid-South Conference by scoring 17.8 points per game. Fox is second on the team and fourth in the MSC at 17.0 points and is 10^th in the country by hitting 3.2 3-pointers per game.

LeeAnn Grider is the floor general for 10^th-year head coach Ginger Colvin and has turned herself into one of the best point guards in the country. Grider ranks fourth in the NAIA by averaging 6.7 assists per game and fifth with an assist/turnover ratio of 6.7. She is 57 dimes shy of moving into second place on the all-time list for assists in a career, as she has 534 coming into this weekend.

John Brown's (5-2) two losses have both come to the College of the Ozarks (55-49 and 62-60).

Bailey Cameron and Kodee Powell lead the Eagles by averaging 16.6 and 10.7 points per contest, respectively. Both are shooting above 60 percent from the 3-point line, as Cameron ranks fourth in the NAIA by hitting 11-of-17 (64.7%), while Powell ranks seventh by splashing 17-of-28 (60.7%) from deep. Cameron is also a force in the paint averaging 8.7 rebounds per game.

As a team, the Eagles rank No. 1 in the country by hitting 10 triples per game and No. 2 by hitting 46 percent. But Campbellsville has countered that stat by allowing opponents to just hit 18 percent from deep in the first five games.
