1st Quarter
Bethune-Cookman (2-7) set the tone in the first, getting off to a scorching-hot start from the field. The Wildcats made 11 of their 16 shot attempts and shot 3-for-4 from beyond the arc en route to a 26 point-quarter.

Three-point shooting proved to be the difference, as B-CU made three shots from downtown to just one for the Blue Bears. As a result, the Wildcats won the quarter 19-13 and held a 16-point lead going into halftime.

Daimoni Dorsey led the way for the Wildcats, scoring 14 points in the half with two three-pointers made.

3rd Quarter
Bethune-Cookman was able to maintain a decent-sized in the third, despite shoot just 1-for-7 from three. Both teams had similar field-goal percentages and rebounding totals.

Livingstone held the slight edge in the quarter 18-16, but still faced a tough hill to climb heading into the fourth down 61-47.

4th Quarter
The Wildcats shot the ball extremely well to close out the win, just as they did to begin the game. B-CU made nine of their 18 attempts and shot 3-for-6 from three-point range in the fourth, scoring 27 points.

The Blue Bears also shot well (53.8%), but finished with five less shot attempts as they turned the ball over eight times.
