Struggles in opening loss Campbell recorded nine points (3-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), zero rebounds and four assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 73-58 loss to San Diego St.
Impact It was a disappointing season debut for the Bruins and Campbell, who had a team-high four turnovers in the loss. He led the team last year with an impressive five assists per game, but Campbell will need to improve his 3-point shooting after connecting on only 27% last year and failing to make one Wednesday.
