Men's Basketball Survives Double OT Thriller to Move to 4-0

Box Score CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The Lenoir-Rhyne Men's Basketball Team (4-0) survived a double-overtime battle with Livingstone to come away with a 91-89 victory and improve to 4-0 overall on the season. Jon Jean and Djibril Diallo scored clutch buckets late to secure the win for the Bears.

Diallo had a monster night with 17 points and 13 boards for his first double-double of the season. R.J. Gunn exploded for a game-high 29 points on 10-of-14 shooting and added five boards and a steal. Jean added 13 points and six rebounds to go with four steals for the Bears. 

The Bears guarded the arc well, holding Livingstone to just 2-of-10 shooting from long range. LR held a 44-39 advantage on the glass and connected on 23-of-29 from the charity stripe in the victory.

The Bears return to action tomorrow against Johnson C. Smith at 4 p.m.
