BLOOMFIELD, NJ – The men's basketball team used a 51-point second half  to claim their third non-conference victory of 2017 in an, 82-70 win over visiting Bowie State University. The Tuesday evening match-up in 'The Den' featured the Bears' three captains all with double-digit scoring and senior, Rakwan Kelly (Newark, NJ) securing his first double-double (17 points, 12 rebounds) of the season.
 
The game kicked off with senior Nick Davidson (Lumberton, NJ) being presented with his 1,000-point basketball and he proceeded to pour in a game-high 25 points, including 20 in the come-from-behind 2^nd half. Marcus Fleming (Linden, NJ) added 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the floor and 1-of-3 shooting from behind the arc.
 
Bloomfield found themselves down 40-31 at the break as the offensive struggled to find a groove. Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Player of the Week, Keith Washington (Philadelphia, PA) went 0-4 from the floor in the opening half trying to find his rhythm in the home debut. Head Coach Gerald Holmes fired up the troops for the second half and the Bears came out shooting 50.0 percent from the field in the final frame to secure the victory
