There was also drama in Raleigh. A shoving match broke out at the Shaw/Fayetteville State game, causing a delay in the game and the police to temporarily clear the stands. No one was arrested.
A few miles down the road, St. Aug looked primed to upset Southern Division-leading Livingstone. St. Aug led 44-29 at halftime, but allowed Livingstone to tie it at 82, forcing overtime. Livingstone managed to hold on for a 90-89 win, picking up its ninth victory in the division.
Livingstone wasn’t the only division leader in the CIAA to find itself in trouble last night. Bowie State found itself in a dogfight with Northern Division rival Virginia State last night. The Bulldogs held on for a 72-69 win, meaning it can wrap up the division title by beating Elizabeth City on Saturday.
