Campbell then hauled in a career and game-high 20 rebounds and went 5-of-10 from the field and 5-for-9 from the free throw line to finish with 16 points as Ohio beat MAC East Division archrival Miami, 76-64, on Saturday (Feb. 20) in a 'Battle of the Bricks' showdown at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio.
