CHARLESTON – Thursday night, Charleston Southern hosted Warren Wilson College to open a three-game homestand. The Buccaneers rolled to a 124–63 victory.

In the first four minutes, CSU's Armari Carraway and Jesse Hafemeister combined for seven three-pointers, surging ahead 21–2. The duo didn't slow down. Just three minutes later— with roughly 13 minutes remaining in the first half— they sparked another 14-point run that stretched the CSU lead to 41–8. A 50-point margin sent the Buccaneers into the locker room with a commanding 74–24 halftime advantage.

Carraway and Hafemeister, who combined for 47 first-half points, opened the second half by scoring CSU's first seven points. The Bucs reached the 100-point mark with 7:32 remaining on a Jacob Taylor layup as Coach Nimley's reserves handled most of the closing minutes, cruising to a 61-point win—the program's largest margin of victory since 2017.
