BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Jacob Johnson led LIU men's basketball in scoring with 12, but the Sharks fell to CCSU, 58-42.
Marko Maletic hit his first three at the 3:37 mark to bring the game within single digits. He has now made a triple in all but one game this season.
The offense struggled through the first 20 minutes, shooting just 25% from the field and 1-7 from deep.
Sunday's contest featured routines performed by the Sharks dance and cheer teams who recently won the UCA National Championships in Orlando, Fla.
The Sharks finished with their lowest offensive output of the season since the opener at Utah on Nov. 7.
LIU returns to action on Thursday at Sacred Heart at 7 p.m.
