The Road to Asheville (Feb. 25, 2016)



There is only four games scheduled for Thursday night. The Mocs and Samford Bulldogs have the night off.


Wofford (15-14, 11-5 SoCon)  at  Western Carolina (13-16, 8-8 SoCon)   7 pm   SDN
The Terriers travel up the mountain to play the Catamounts in the Ramsey Center  on Thursday. Wofford is 4-12 in road games this season, and is coming off a home win over Furman. The Terriers are winners of five of their last six games. Western is 10-2 in the Ramsey this season, and is coming off a road win at The Citadel. The Cats have won two straight, and five of their last six games as well. The Cats dropped a 10 point loss to the Terriers in Spartanburg on January 30, but will pull out a 5 point win Thursday night. Once again, the Cats will have Mike Young thinking, “I would rather go to hell, than go to (expletive) Cullowhee."
