The Pfeiffer men's basketball team led by as much as seven in the first half and rallied from a 15-point deficit in the second half, but Livingstone's Nasir Austin led the Blue Bears to the Hwy. 52 Shootout Title on Saturday evening at Livingston College.
Austin finished with 22 points, including an emphatic dunk with just under a minute left in the game to secure the win for the Blue Bears.
Danny Smith led Pfeiffer (1-1) with 20 points, 15 of which coming in the second half.
The taller Blue Bears outrebounded the Falcons 37-27 in the game and edged Pfeiffer in shooting percentage 47 to 43 to win the title of the third-annual pre-season tournament.
A full story and pics will appear in the Tuesday print edition.
