CHARLOTTE — Winston-Salem State wasn’t going to be denied a chance to play for the CIAA title.
The Rams, behind the inspired play of Javan Wells, Marquez Jones, Donta Harper and WyKevin Bazemore, beat Fayetteville State 88-70 on Friday night in the CIAA Tournament semifinals. The win sets up a rematch of last year’s CIAA championship game with Livingstone. The Blue Bears advanced with an 83-65 win over Bowie State and will have a chance to defend their title.
The Rams had two scoring spurts in the first half Friday, led by as many as 20, and then turned up their defensive pressure in the second half to ease past the Broncos for the third time this season. The Rams had beaten the Broncos twice in the regular season.
Wells led the Rams (18-9) with 19 points; Jones was right behind him with 17 points. Harper added 13 points and Bazemore was all over the court with 13 points and 16 rebounds to go along with four assists.
