Western Carolina (6-15, 2-8 SoCon) comes into tonight’s battle against the Furman Paladins (17-6, 5-5 SoCon) after a disappointing loss to VMI 76-80 in OT. Furman also enters tonight’s game after a loss to ETSU 69-72 on the road. Both teams are in need of a win to get a better seeding in the SoCon tournament coming up soon in Asheville.

GAMEDAY!! We hit the road down to Bob Jones this evening to battle Furman.

The Catamounts start off with a bang and take the lead up to the 16-minute mark 8-7. Furman starts out Charles Johnston instead of Garrett Hein in the starting lineup, which they do bring in Hein right at the first media timeout. A great crowd has shown up for tonight’s game at Davis Field house on the Campus of Bob Jones University. Furman has been road warriors all year as they await Timmons Arena remodel to be complete for next year’s slate.

We come to another media timeout with WCU tied 15-15 with Furman after letting the Paladins lead for a few minutes. Western is led by Marcus Kell 7 points, and Bernard Pelote 4 rebounds, and shooting 35.7% from FG, 25% from 3-point range, and 75% from the line. Western comes out hot shooting two threes and take a 22-15 lead with 9 minutes left in the half.

Media Timeout… We have a tie ballgame as the Catamounts are on the heels of a 7-0 run against Furman.

Furman battles back against WCU and as we head to a timeout, they trail by 1 point 24-25 after a great run by the Paladins. WCU had some tough luck and bad passing during the run which led to the Paladins getting back in the game. We have another media timeout, and our score is WCU 29-28 over Furman as we have 3:46 left in the half as the Catamounts are playing tough after Furman seems to take the lead to pull away but can’t seem to get the job done. We come to halftime with WCU leading 33-31.

Leading scorers are Marcus Kell with 14 points and 4 rebounds, Cord Stansberry 5 points 2 rebounds, and Bernard Pelote 8 rebounds and 1 point for the Catamounts. WCU had 5 points off turnovers, 10 in the paint, 6 off second chance, 2 off fast breaks, and 8 points off the bench.

We come out of the half with both teams shooting away in a fast-paced game, when we reach the first media timeout with 15:18 left in the game its 45-40 Western Carolina in the lead behind Marcus Kell who leads all scorers with 19 points. We have a tie ballgame with 11:37 left in the game 47-47 as Furman defense has kept WCU from pulling away in the game.

WCU with 7:46 left in the game have a 49-47 lead as we come to a media timeout. Western is shooting 32% from FG range, 28.6% from 3-point range, and 77.8% from the line. Kell is still the leading scorer in the game with 21 points which leads all players at this point. Western is now out to a 55-49 lead with 6:22 left in the game and is making sure Furman is getting no clear shots. Great rebounding has helped the cause with Bernard Pelote having 13 rebounds leading all players in the game.

Furman Timeout… We've stretched our lead to six with 6:22 to play.

Western Carolina lets Furman get back in the game and we are heading to overtime as its 66-66. The Paladins got some great calls and played great defense against the Catamounts to tie the game. Furman starts the overtime period out with the fans louder than ever and they pull out to a 73=66 lead as the timeout is called by WCU as the fans erupt from the Tom House 3 pointer. Nobody has left Davis Field house as this game has been nuts. Furman is able to hold onto a 84-75 win over Western Carolina.
