CHARLOTTE - Bowie State stonewalled Winston-Salem State’s bid to win consecutive CIAA basketball titles during Friday night’s semifinals of the conference tournament.The fourth-seeded Bulldogs threw up a brick wall of a defense inside and came away with an 83-66 victory. Taking most everything away from WSSU on the inside, Bowie advanced to play Livingstone in tonight’s championship game at Time Warner Cable Arena.For the 10th-ranked Rams, poor free-throw shooting also hurt, but the biggest problem was finding any room inside.
The Bulldogs won their sixth straight and improved to 15-13. They can secure a berth in the Division II Tournament with a win tonight.
The Rams (21-6) will have more basketball to play in the Division II Tournament but that didn’t make the loss sting any less. The Rams were trying to match the 1999 and 2000 WSSU teams that won consecutive CIAA titles.
