Western Carolina's head men's basketball coach Larry Hunter released the 2013-14 Catamount Basketball Schedule today.

"Our players have had the best offseason workouts and improved their basketball skills and bodies to a man of any team I have had at Western Carolina. They are an excited and hungry bunch of Catamounts," Hunter said.

"We will need to carry this `I will not be denied' attitude throughout the season because we again have a very challenging schedule."

"We are excited to have the two early home dates against Wittenberg and UNC Asheville to give our fans an early view of our team," added Hunter.

"We lost a lot of close games a year ago and hopefully with five seniors and most of the team returning this season we will find ways to turn many of those types of games into wins. We should be a very exciting team to watch compete and play," Hunter concluded.
