SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WJHL) — The ETSU Buccaneers gave credit to the big men on the court Sunday night in their 86–72 road win over the Wofford Terriers. The victory pushed ETSU back into sole possession of first place in the Southern Conference.

Bucs Forward Cam Morris III led the team with 22 points, seven rebounds and a career-best five steals, while 6-foot-8 sophomore Jordan McCullum added 17 points. Blake Barkley finished with 11 points and six boards as ETSU improved to 16–7 overall and 8–2 in league play.

After a back-and-forth first half, ETSU took control for good early in the second, using efficient offense and steady defense to create separation. The Bucs closed the game at the free-throw line, converting 21 of 22 attempts in the final eight minutes.

Jaylen Smith scored 10 points for his third straight double-figure performance, and Allen Strothers contributed five assists. ETSU shot 48% from the field, won the rebounding battle 35–24 and capitalized on Wofford turnovers.

ETSU returns home Wednesday to face Furman at Freedom Hall.
