CONWAY, S.C. (AP) Warren Gillis scored 18 points, Josh Cameron added 17 and Coastal Carolina beat Charleston Southern 83-74 in a contest that never saw more than a single-digit lead on Saturday.

Saah Nimley scored 26 points to lead the Buccaneers (6-6, 0-1). Nimley had 18 points at the break, half of Charleston Southern's combined 36 points.
