Clemons became the first player in Big South Tournament history to record consecutive 30-point games after scoring a school-record 51 in Campbell's win over No. 2 seed UNC Asheville.

Cory Gensler's jumper early in the second half gave Campbell the lead for good. His 3-pointer, his only other points, with 10:18 left made it 47-37 and Campbell led by double digits the rest of the way.
