Cats win final BracketBuster game

Brandon Boggs

Brandon Boggs led all scorers with 26 points, as the Catamounts won their final ESPN BracketBuster game by a final score of 80-70 over Coastal Carolina. 

"I thought the first 10-to-12 minutes really got things going for us. Our defense was terrific in the first half and we really put ourselves in a good position for the second half. Brandon (Boggs) really gave us a good game with his play in the second half. I thought Preston (Ross) and James Sinclair got us off to a good start. I thought Brandon (Boggs) in the second half was unbelievable - it was good to see him get it going again. We had a lot of guys step up tonight and we didn't have to put so much pressure on Trey (Sumler) to do it all. Trey does his thing, but it was nice to see other people contributing." said WCU head coach Larry Hunter after the game

Hunter continued, "There were a lot of positives out here tonight. Coastal Carolina is a good ball club; they are very well coached. They made their run in the second half and we answered it. We haven't really punched anyone in the nose' in the first half - haven't really gotten off to a great start at home, and we really did that today."

The Cats play their final two home games this week, hosting Chattanooga (Thurs., Feb. 28) and Samford (Sat., March 2) in the Ramsey Center, with the fourth and final bye at stake.
