BSU BULLDOGS DENIED NCAA TOURNAMENT BERTH

(BOWIE, Md.)  The NCAA Division II Men's Basketball Tournament field of 64 has been released but Bowie State University will not be a part of it.  The Northern Division Champion Bulldogs suffered a tough 66-63 overtime loss to Elizabeth City State University in the CIAA Tournament semifinals and end their season at 22-6.  The final comments made by third-year head coach Darrell Brooks in the BSU locker room were, "A lot of teams across this country would love to have a 22 and 6 record and I know this hurts now, but let's keep our heads up and I love you guys."   

Two teams from the CIAA will join six other Atlantic Region teams competing for the ultimate NCAA title.  Conference Champion Winston-Salem State University and CIAA Southern Division Champion Shaw University will make their second straight return trip to the regional.   The other six teams include the top seed and host West Liberty along with Charleston (W.Va.), West Virginia Wesleyan, Wheeling Jesuit, Indiana University of Pennsylvania and East Stroudsburg.
