Shaw beats J.C. Smith, takes sole lead of CIAA South

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina  -  Shaw's Bears are all alone atop the CIAA South.

Shaw, ranked 14th in Division II, rolled by J.C. Smith 95-76 Saturday at Brayboy Gym in a first-place showdown that was decided in the first half. The Bears (18-2, 4-0) ran wild in the opening half with Division I Binghamton transfer Malik Alvin facilitating Shaw's attack going off for a season-high 36 points on 14-of-20 shooting. Forward Karron Johnson added 18 points and Tony Smith chipped in 14 for the Bears in handing J.C. Smith (10-10, 3-1) its worst loss of the season.

"We did some things we wanted to do over the last three days of practice we felt could affect them, but they're always prepared," Shaw coach Cleo Hill Jr. said. "We just happened to have our night against them tonight."
