JCSU led by as many as six points early in the second half but Livingstone regrouped and took back the lead at the 12:15 mark and pulled away for the win.
 
Roger Ray led four Livingstone players in double-digits, finishing with 21 points. Elmore added 17 for the Blue Bears while Martel Handley finished with 12. Damante' McNeill also added 11.  Both Ray and Elmore had double-doubles, with Elmore hauling in 10 rebounds and Ray dishing out 13 assists.
