No. 1 West Liberty 127, #8 Livingstone, N.C. 89
Four-time defending Atlantic Region champion West Liberty (27-3) shot better than 70 percent from the floor but fell just short of setting an NCAA Tournament scoring record in a quarterfinal rout of No. 8 seed Livingstone (19-10). Coach Jim Crutchfield’s Hilltoppers jumped out to a 65-40 halftime lead and led by as many as 42 points down the stretch in coasting to their sixth straight Atlantic Region semifinal.
   Atlantic Region Player of the Year Seger Bonifant tossed in a game-high 24 points and All-MEC guard Devin Hoehn added 21 to lead six double-figure scorers for the Hilltoppers, though neither player saw much action in the second half. Two-time All-Region standout C.J. Hester was a perfect 6-of-6 from the floor and finished with 14 points while point guard Indiana Faithfull had 11 points and a game-high 7 assists. Brandon Smith and Brady Arnold donated 13 points each off the bench.
   The CIAA Tournament champion Blue Bears had four players in double figures, led by Eric Dubose and Ty Newman with 15 and 14 points, respectively.
   The NCAA Division II Tournament single-game scoring record of 132 points was set by Bridgeport (Conn.) in an overtime win against Stonehill (N.J.) during the 1989 tournament and tied by Central Oklahoma against Washburn (Kan.) during the 1992 event.
