WCU 2009-2010 Game talk

[kingaling42]

You do realize that students don't buy tickets- neither do fans that show up on the free ticket promotion days that WCU has offered.. that being said it probably will be closer than you would imagine- I certainly would expect WCU to sell more this year given the capacity- unfortunately for your team there should be more butts in the seats since they have deserved the attendance that could be.. Regardless if we do or don't, its really funny that we can show that we have done so given the vastly superior (or so you would have us believe) "arena" that WCU has..

The website is a valid site... check the main l here then http://www2.indystar.com/NCAA_financial_reports/ - the other was specific to UNCA & seems to be down smart guy...

- the other was specific to UNCA & seems to be down smart guy...

Hey, don't pi$$ on me... you posted the link, not me!!!!!

AND.... "it came from forms required by the NCAA for the 2004-05 school year"

What good is 5 year old data?????? Give me a break.

[kingaling42]

My bad- I guess the RAC was somewhat smaller back then.. What was I thinking??

My bad- I guess the RAC was somewhat smaller back then.. What was I thinking??

Had you posted your data a being 5 years old, I wouldn't have even bothered to check your link. That season the Cats were 8-22 overall, and 7-6 at home.

[kingaling42]

That sounds about right for most basketball seasons in the 'whee.. I so enjoy when you prove my point about WCU basketball..

Thanks for the season results though.. You were already familiar with that report site I'm sure- we have discussed it here before..

[the cats]

Sorry to disappoint you... but I've never, never looked up this or any other site for basketball revenue for Western or any other school. That has never been a priority of mine.

I have have looked at these type of sites for info on overall athletic budgets, football revenue, and recruiting budgets... but never the amount of basketball tickets sold.

and guess what.... it's still not a priority with me.

[kingaling42]

So why waste your time looking it up?? Then posting twice more if it's no big deal to you.. I'm really getting under your skin eh??

What.. no more comments about your message board or other random bipolar things to take the focus off of the most recent WCU loss in this thread??

Sorry to disappoint you... but I've never, never looked up this or any other site...

Never?? Or you just never paid attention to the info you were providing... Like I said, it's funny how you tried to infer that I had linked a made-up website when you have, in fact, provided that link yourself to others on your Kitty board just 10 days ago...

Nice... post a web site that backs up your ploy.... and it's not a valid web site....LOL

So how's my memory??

[kingaling42]

Buzz Peterson is now 12 - 0 vs the Can'ts.. ASU 89 - WCU 77 in the RAC.. This is the same ASU team that lost to King's College 5 days ago in Boone.. Wow!!

Additionally Cats- Guess we're not the only one's with this opinion... http://forums.delphiforums.com/appstate ... g=31060.23

I'd also have to say that I agree with post #31 in that same thread linked above...

But hey... At least 6,024 fans made it to the game to watch ASU sweep WCU for the 5th time in 6 seasons in basketball...
ASU holds a 106-57 lead in the all-time series with WCU.. ASU has won 12 of the last 13... OUCH...

Misery loves company Cat's & UNCA just dropped 2 road games.. don't hide kitty kitty we can still discuss that everchanging & dropping Realtime RPI you're so fond of...

[kingaling42]

Can'ts dropped their 2nd straight game at Elon tonight.. 81-76 Final

Wheels are falling off the bus folks.. Will they regain that confidence they once had before SoCon tourney play??

[kingaling42]

3rd straight loss... Wheels on the bus go round & round.. round & round... round & round...

Ben Allison had 12 points and Steve Rossiter added 10 for the Wildcats (13-12, 8-5 Southern Conference), who held a 70-67 lead on Will Archambalt's jumper with 4:20 left in the second half.

Western Carolina's Harouna Mutombo answered with a 3-pointer to tie the game at 70-70 with 4:07 to play. But the Catamounts (18-8, 8-6) would not pull ahead, as Cohen's layup with 1:05 remaining put Davidson up for good.

Davidson shot 46.4 percent from the floor (26-for-56) compared to the Catamounts, who shot 44.8 percent (26-for-58).

WCU travels to Kent State in their BB game that now ESPN might be wondering why they agreed to televise a game that looked great on paper once upon a time.. WCU is still a capable team & Kent State is tied for 1st in their league with this game not meaning much to them other than better seeding for the Golden Flashes in the NCAA tourney should they get there..

WCU is now 4-6 in their last 10 games... Yikes!!

[kingaling42]

Richie Gordon had 16 points and eight rebounds and Western Carolina beat Elon 68-57 on Saturday in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference tournament.

The Catamounts (22-10) took control with an 18-0 run midway through the first half, holding Elon scoreless for a span of 8:12. That spurt turned a 15-11 deficit into a 29-15 lead, and Elon never got closer than five points the rest of the way.

Harouna Mutombo added 14 points, Mike Williams 13 and Jake Robinson 10 for Western Carolina, which advanced to Sunday's semifinals against the winner of Wofford and UNC-Greensboro.

The Catamounts outrebounded the Phoenix 44-25.

Elon (9-23), which upset Davidson in the opening round, got 15 points from Chris Long, 13 from Drew Spradlin and 12 from T.J. Douglas. The Phoenix shot just 30 percent from the field, and 11 of their 15 made field goals came from 3-point range.

WCU faces #1(south & overall) Wofford tomorrow at 6pm @ Time Warner Arena- game will be broadcasted on SportSouth..

Pretty unlucky year for the Can'tamounts. They really had a good team and still had a great season. But, it's got to suck that when you have a team laden with talented seniors beat some big name teams only to lose the division to a hated rival and then ultimately lose in the conference tourney to another team enjoying a really good year that hasn't been good traditionally (Wofford). It's always hard to get through a conference tourney.

Tough luck guys. See you next year.

[kingaling42]

Can'ts lost tonight in their CIT opener at Marshall.. Thundering Herd win 90-88..

Until next year Can'ts...

[GoUNCA]

Is that the same tourney Liberty played in last year? Maybe that was the CBI. I get all the lower tier tourneys mixed up.

All in all, not a bad showing from the Can'ts on the road. I wonder how much money they lost on the extra game though.
