Livingstone Men’s Basketball Falls 65-42 to Fayetteville State in Tough Road Loss

Fayetteville, NC- Livingstone College's men's basketball team faced a tough loss to Fayetteville State with a final score of 65-42.

King Ijeoma led the Blue Bears with 7 points, and Paul Tako contributed 5 points, keeping the team in the game with their hustle. Justin Baxter made the most of his 7 minutes on the court, shooting a perfect 3-3 from the field and adding 6 points to the scoreboard.
