Claflin Panthers Edge Bowie State
Bulldogs 66-60 in Conference Play
Written by Kevin Parrish
ORANGEBURG, S.C. - Bowie State University’s
five-game winning streak came to an end Saturday night, as Claflin
University defeated the Bulldogs 66-60 in a conference matchup. The loss
dropped Bowie State to 10-7 on the season and
2-3 in CIAA play.
In the opening minutes of the first period, the
score was pretty even as both teams gave the opposing defense buckets.
Things didn’t open up until the 14-minute-mark, with the Panthers
holding a 10-9 lead when Devin Smith and Letrell knocked
down back to back bombs from long-distance.
Moments later, Haneef Britt converted on a
thunderous dunk, forcing Bowie State to call a 30-second timeout to
regain some momentum. The Bulldogs would respond as Ronald Perry hit a
jumper following the timeout, but Claflin would counter
with another basket. This would be the story for the remainder of the
period, as the Panthers held a 37-31 lead into halftime.
In the second period, it appeared to be the same
situation for Bowie State. Saiquan Jamison would convert on a tip-in,
but Malik Abdur-Rahim would answer right back for Claflin. It was
difficult for the Bulldogs to pick up momentum in this
game. However, with 7-minutes later in the match, Bowie State was still
in a position to steal the victory.
After Kani Coles scored, Dexter Turner knocked down
both of his free-throws to make it a three-point game 55-52. Then Coles
would score again to cut the lead down to one. Britt would respond to
stretch the Panthers lead, but moments later,
Turner knocked down a 3-pointer to tie the game at 57 apiece. After
that, the teams would exchange baskets back and forth.
With a minute to play in regulation as Claflin held
a one-point lead, the Panthers would throw another job at the Bulldogs
with a 3-pointer by Donnell Frayer Jr. As Bowie State failed to respond,
the Panthers finished the game off with
a dunk by Brandon Davis.
Coles led the two Bulldogs in double-figure with a
career-high 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field, and Saiquan
Jamison added 11 points and a game-high nine rebounds. As a team, Bowie
State 42 percent (19-of-45) from the field,
30 percent (3-of-10) from long range and made 63 percent (19-of-30) of
its free throws.
