Catamounts send the Dogs back to Charleston

Asheville, NC - Playing in their first game in the newly remodeled US Celluar Center, the Catamounts ran to a first round win in the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament over the Citadel, 68-56. The Cats were led in scoring by Harouna Mutombo's 21 points, as the Cats put three players in double figures.   WCU lead in rebounds 23-21.

“We had really good defensive energy,” said Larry Hunter. “Some of the things we were trying to do defensively, we did solid all night long with the exception of trying to guard Groselle. The other key was we scored, got a little bit of a lead and were in control of the game from an offensive standpoint.”
