UNC Asheville men rally past Catamounts

ASHEVILLE — Down the stretch of a mountain rivalry Tuesday night, the veteran team on a long home winning streak made more plays than a young squad on its way to a sixth straight road loss.  The result was UNC Asheville’s 85-79 overtime win against Western Carolina at sold-out Justice Center.

The Bulldogs (6-6) overcame a late deficit in regulation and took advantage of WCU’s foul miscues to claim their 13th straight victory at home over the past two seasons.

The Catamounts (4-10) shot 62 percent from the floor in the second half but couldn’t close out the game at the foul line to drop to 0-6 in December, all away from home.
