CHARLESTON, S.C. - Ben Burnham opened the game with a lob slam dunk from by CJ Fulton to bookend an explosive evening at TD Arena as the College of Charleston men's basketball team defeated Elon 80-62.

The Cougars held Elon scoreless for the first three minutes of the half while pushing to a 12-point lead.
Fulton hit back-to-back treys to push the Cougars to their largest lead of the night at 60-46. Charleston continued to push offensively, ending with a 5-6 stretch from the field to seal the victory.
