SALISBURY, North Carolina — Sixty long days rolled off the calendar between Livingstone men’s basketball victories, but Thursday’s 65-60 CIAA victory against Chowan had everyone thinking positive.The Blue Bears finally ended an eight-game slide by holding off the Hawks (6-12, 0-6) in front of a big crowd at New Trent Gym, but blue-collar forward Tyler Johnson wore a smile like a man who had just tasted the champagne of an NBA title.
“We had the same kind of rough stretch last year, but we came back strong,” Johnson said. “It does feel great to win a game, and we’re not that far from being right back on track.”
Livingstone survived last season’s rough patch well enough to reach the CIAA championship game, so coach James Stinson isn’t throwing in the towel.
