WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Jermaine “Itchy” Bolden has come up with a few big shots this season. He scored the Bears’ game-winning shot against William- Jessup, he hit a clutch three-pointer down the stretch against Maryland, and tonight he once again delivered when it mattered most. The senior guard hit a three-pointer with 40 seconds to go to help the Bears hold off Norfolk State 74-70. After a put-back by NSU’s Brandon Monroe cut the Bears’ lead to 72-70 with nine seconds left, Rogers Barnes sank two free throws with 6.4 seconds left to improve the Bears’ record to 3-0 in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference and 8-8 overall. Tonight was a good test for the Bears who were defeated last season by a buzzer-beater at Norfolk State, and were entering the game fresh off a hard fought win against North Carolina A&T on Saturday. Plus, the Bears faced a Spartan team that was trying to win its third consecutive game after a 10-game losing streak. Michael Deloach, the MEAC’s leading scorer (20.4 ppg), scored the Spartans’ fi rst 14 points, as NSU took an early 14-7 lead with 13:23 remaining in the fi rst half. MSU went on a 10-0 run, including four points from Barnes, to take back the lead, and the Bears led 35-30 at the half. The teams traded baskets throughout most of the fi rst seven minutes of the second half. NSU’s last advantage came at 46-45 after two free throws by Lyons with 13:57 left in the game. But Holmes, who did not score a single fi eld goal in the fi rst half, scored the game’s next eight points in a 14-4 run that gave the Bears a 59-50 lead with 8:40 remaining. Corey Lyons cut the defi cit to one with 1:05 remaining, but Bolden answered with a three-point dagger on the next possession to help the Bears pull out the win.
