Salisbury, NC- The 2014 men's basketball CIAA Champions, under the direction of Head Coach
James Stinson, begin the 2014-2015 season against Duke University blue devils for the first time in Livingstone history.
The exhibition game against Duke takes place on November 4 in Durham, N.C. in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
The Blue Bears enter the season ranked number 1 in the Southern Division of the conference, for the predicted order of finish, picked by the CIAA Men's Basketball Coaches Association.
The Blue Bears 21-8 overall and 11-5 in the conference last year, winning the CIAA for the first time in school history and playing in the NCAA Division II playoffs for the second consecutive year.
