Western held the SoCon's leading scorer to a total of 15 points during the game, allowing Trevis Simpson just two points in the second half, after scoring 13 in the first period. Trey Sumler led all scorers with 21 points, 2 rebounds, and four assists. Tawaski King and Brandon Boggs also scored in double figures for the Catamounts, getting 13 and 11 points respectively. James Sinclair led the Cats in rebounds, with 8.
The Catamounts dominated the boards, out-rebounding the Spartans 41-30, as the Cats pulled down 16 offensive rebounds to UNCG's six. The Catamounts followed up those offensive rebounds with 19 second chance points, while allowing the Spartans only 5 second chance points.
An area that is usually a WCU strong point is steals, but the Spartans only allowed 4 steals by the Cats, while Western gave the ball up to UNCG times.
With the Western win tonight, coupled with Appalachian State's loss, Saturday's game at Elon will pit the number one and number two teams in the North Division against each other.
That's what winning will do for you. Do you think the Cats are peaking at just about the right time?
In his post game radio show tonight, Coach Hunter made the statement that the Cats were not playing for second place, they want the Championship. Go Cats !!!!!
