Three Bulldogs Score in Double Figures as Bowie State Defeats Cheyney 77-66






BOWIE, Md. – The Bowie State University Bulldogs snapped a two-game slide, defeating Cheyney University 77-66 in non-conference action on Saturday afternoon in the A.C. Jordan Arena.

Bowie State (4-2) was led by juniors Andre Jackson (Baltimore, Md.) and Justin Beck (Ellicott City, Md.) with double-doubles of 14 points / 10 rebounds and 12 points / ten rebounds respectively. Jackson and Beck’s rebound totals were career-highs for both players. Fellow junior Julian Livingston (Bowie, Md.) added 10 points and redshirt junior Miles Jackson (Silver Spring, Md.) fell just shy of a double-double, contributing nine points and nine rebounds.

As a team, Bowie State doubled Cheyney’s rebound total, out-rebounding the Wolves 50-25. In fact, the Bulldogs pounded the glass for 22 offensive rebounds which led to 25 second chance points. Bowie State also dominated in the paint, holding a 42-18 advantage over the Wolves. The Bulldogs handed out a season-high 20 assists with freshman Ahmaad Wilson (Baltimore, Md.) dishing out a personal season-best six assists.

The Cheyney Wolves (1-4) were led in scoring by Kevin Larkin (Lincoln, Del.) with 19 points on 8-of-12 shooting and Jerrod Johnson (Philadelphia, Pa.) added 15 points.

The first half was a see-saw affair that featured five lead changes and four ties.  Neither team had a lead larger than five points. Cheyney and Bowie State went into intermission tied at 30. 

“Our biggest problem in the first half was missed layups but held them to 30 points over the first 20 minutes”, said Bowie State head coach Darrell Brooks. “The emphasis at halftime was for us to finish around the rim and to keep attacking and thought we did really good job with that in the second half.”

The second half was a game of runs.  The Bulldogs came out of the locker room to score the first nine points of the half.  Cheyney responded with a 17-5 run to take a 47-44 lead after Michael Drinks (Philadelphia, Pa.) drained a jumper with 13:21 remaining.  With the score tied at 49, Bowie State went on another big run, this time an 18-5 run to take a 67-54 advantage for their largest lead of the afternoon with 6:15 to play.  Cheyney was able to cut the deficit to eight points on two occasions but were unable to get any closer in closing minutes. 

“We have to be a balanced team and two stat lines I was really proud of today … Rebounding and sharing the basketball”, stated Brooks

The Bulldogs return to action on Monday (December 1st) on the road at Millersville University with tip off against the Marauders set for 7 pm.
