2/11/2023 6:25:00 PM | Men's Basketball
HAMPTON, Va. – The College of Charleston men's basketball team won its third straight contest on Saturday, defeating Hampton 83-70 on the road. The Cougars move to 24-3 and 12-2 in the CAA. Charleston remains tied for first in the league with Hofstra.
Hampton started the contest on a 10-0 run as the initial whistle was not blown until nearly four minutes into the first half. The Cougars struggled to find the rim while the Pirates seemed to not be able to miss.
A Reyne Smith three with eight minutes remaining in the half helped cut the Pirate advantage to 10 at 27-17 before a Pat Robinson III old-fashioned three-point brought Charleston within seven. The Cougars went on a 20-4 highlighted by three straight Robinson III triples to take their first lead of the game at 32-31 with five minutes left in the half.
Robinson III had already surpassed his season-high of 19 points by the half to led Charleston with 25. The Cougars came back from down 15 points and enter the locker room up 43-41.
Charleston started the second half on a 13-2 run and never looked back, shooting nearly 50% from the field.
