MBB: Cats fall to Kent State

Trey Sumler
Cullowhee, NC - The Cats lost a heart breaker to Kent State on Saturday night, falling 58-56 to the Golden Flashes at the Ramsey Center. Michael Porrini marked his return to Cullowhee by scoring five critical points in the closing minutes of the game, a layup for a three-point play and two clutch free throws with just 12 seconds on the clock that helped the Golden Flashes steal a win from his former team.  Harouna Mutombo led all scorers with 21 points and Trey Sumler put up a season-best 19 points in the loss. The game was tied a total of seven times with 14 lead changes, eight in the second half.  The loss snapped a  WCU 10-game home game winning streak against non-conference foes in the Ramsey Center.  The Catamounts will now break for final exams, and returns on Tuesday, Dec. 20 playing the Bradley Braves. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 pm ET.
