Shaw defeats Bowie State at the Buzzer
Raleigh,
NC –
Senior guard Melvin
Smith (6’3, 190-JR-G/Roanoke, VA) hit a 40-foot shot at the
buzzer to give the Shaw University Bears a 64-61 win over CIAA
Eastern Division power Bowie State University Bulldogs. The win
snapped a five game losing streak for the Bears and improved
their record to 1-1 in the CIAA East and 2-11 overall, while the
Bulldogs dropped to 1-1 and 12-5.
In a game that saw the Bulldogs shoot 46% (14-30) in the first
half, it was the Bears who were able to keep it close and only trailed
by two 35-37 after the first 20 minutes. The Bulldogs biggest lead was
11 which came in the opening period (35-24) with 3:50 left, but the
Bears went on a 10-2 run to close out the half.
There were eight lead changes and the score was tied nine times,
but it was the defensive effort by the Bears in the second half that saw
the Bulldogs shoot only 36% (9-25) from the floor.
Leading the Bears was senior forward Daniel Jackson (6’6,
210-SR/Lake Wales
, FL) who finished with a double-double 23 points and 10 rebounds.
Melvin Smith also finished with 18 points.
Pacing the Bulldogs was Derick Payne (6’6, 220-SR-G/Washington, DC)
who led all scorers with 26 points. Also in double digits were Thomas
Hawkins (6’4, 210-SR-G/Annapolis, MD) and Brent Campbell
(6’0,160-SR-G/Ft. Washington, MD) who finished with 17 and 11 points

Hickory, NC
– In the
second outing of the Lenoir-Rhyne/Moretz Men’s Basketball
Classic, Catawba College held on for a 75-73 win over the Shaw
University Bears.
It was the Bears second
consecutive outing that went down to the wire and it was Jason
Coleman (Raleigh, NC) who missed the front end of a one and one that
closed the door with three ticks left in the game. Daniel Jackson
(Lake Wales,
FL) hit a jumper with 46 seconds left that put the Bears in striking
distance (75-73). After a Catawba miss shot with 15 seconds left,
Coleman was fouled setting up the free throws for the tie.
SU’s Nate Aaron
(Jacksonville,

his best outing of the season. Daniel
Jackson with a season high 20 points and All-CIAA James Rosebud

Shaw Bears Fall to LRC Bears
Hickory ,
NC –
It was a Bear brawl
that saw eight lead changes and nine ties, but it was the
Lenoir-Rhyne College Bears that came out on top over the Shaw
University Bears 59-51 in the Moretz Sports Men’s Basketball
Classic. LR improved to 4-6 and SU dropped to 1-8 on the
season.
It was a nip and tuck battle
that saw the home standing Lenoir-Rhyne Bears pull away in the final 15
seconds with clutch shooting from the free throw line. Leading 53-51
with 15 seconds remaining, LR outscored SU 6-0 to secure the win. SU
was hurt at the free-throw line (19 of 31, 66%) and missed several key
shots down the stretch. SU only made six of 25 shoots from the floor
(24%), which also played a major part in the outcome.
SU had three players score in
double figures, led by James Rosebud
(St. Petersburg
, FL ) 11 points, while
Daniel Jackson (
Lake
Wales
, FL) added a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds.

Bears Fall to Rams in Non-Conference Match-up
WINSTON-SALEM, NC –
It may not
have been the most aesthetically pleasing basketball game that
Winston-Salem State University has ever played, yet it did
result in an all-important 71-63 win for the Rams on Wednesday
evening at the C.E. Gaines Center as they handed Shaw University
their seventh loss of the season in non-conference basketball
action.
The Rams led for 38:54 of a possible 40:00 in the game as
they trailed only during the game’s first 1:06 of play.
A James Rosebud lay-up gave the visiting Bears their only
lead of the contest, at 2-0, 36 seconds into the game before a Jamal
Durham four-footer tied the game and a Curtis Hines three-pointer only
11 seconds later put the Rams ahead for good.
WSSU used a 15-of-30 shooting performance during the
contest’s first 20 minutes of play, including a seven-of-13 shooting
display from three-point range to open up a 17-point halftime lead as
they raced ahead of the Bears 42-25 after the first period.
The second half would prove to be a closer contest
between the two teams as several WSSU offensive miscues and eight Ram
turnovers helped Shaw to cut the lead to as little as three points with
39 seconds remaining.
What once was a lead of 19 points (with 9:55 to play in
the second half) became a cushion that could be erased with only one
possession with under a minute remaining in the game.
However, the stoic Rams were impervious to the Bears’
final charge as five successful free-throws in six attempts over the
course of the game’s final 30 seconds of play sealed the win for WSSU.
Leading the way for WSSU was Alleggrie Guinn who tallied
19 points, four rebounds and three assists in 28 minutes of work as he
led four WSSU players into double figures. Turning in another stellar
performance was Ram point guard Roy Peake who chipped in four points,
six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals while committing only a lone
turnover in a game-high 32 minutes of play. Jamal Coleman led Shaw with
20 points on six-for-13 shooting in the losing effort.
WSSU improves to 5-4 overall with the win (0-1 CIAA)
while Shaw falls to 1-7 on the season.
