SALISBURY, North Carolina — It was another black-and-blue CIAA victory for Livingstone on Saturday night. The Blue Bears survived a 40-minute test of nerves at Trent Gym, where they gained an important 54-53 win against visiting Shaw.
“We were fortunate,” coach James Stinson said after Livingstone (14-7, 8-4 CIAA), the defending league champion, won for the sixth time in seven games. “The defending champions were last year’s team. This one is having a difficult time being consistent.”
This one got a favorable call when a last-second shot by Shaw’s Larry Richardson was slapped off the backboard by Livingstone junior Ty Newman. Shaw coach Cleo Hill Jr. argued for a goaltending call that never came.
“I had a good view of it,” he said. “I thought the ball hit the backboard first. I thought we had the play. But sometimes you can make a lot of plays and still not win the game.”
