Staff report

BALTIMORE — Livingstone’s men’s basketball team bowed out of the CIAA Tournament quickly on Tuesday night.

Bowie State was highly beatable if the Blue Bears had shot well in a 4 vs. 5 first-round game, but 36-percent shooting, including 2-for-15 from 3, didn’t get it done. Livingstone shot a whopping 36 free throws, but only made 20. That’s 55.6 percent.

Livingstone never led, dug a 12-point halftime hole and saw a second-half charge fall a bit short.

Bowie State improved to 12-17, while Livingstone closed the books at 12-16.

Teon Tiller had a huge game for the Blue Bears with 17 points. All-CIAA pick Khyree Temple scored 15, Omarion Broderick added 11. James Nipper, who was named to the CIAA All-Rookie team, scored eight.

Broderick pulled down 13 rebounds, while Temple grabbed 11. There were a lot of rebounds available.

Warren Mouganda scored 17 for Bowie State. Joel Webb had 13 points and 12 boards.
