The College of Charleston Cougars (15-8, 8-3 SoCon) welcome the Catamounts of Western Carolina (9-13, 6-5) to the John Kresse Arena this evening for their 16th meeting between the two schools. (The College leads the series 11-5/9-1 since both schools joined the Southern Conference.) The game will broadcast on CSS (Comcast 42) this evening at 7 pm. (Photo compliments of APMN.org)
The last time these two teams met, the Cougars won on the road by 7-points with David Lawrence and Jermaine Johnson both putting 17-points on the board and Dontaye grabbing a career-high 8-boards against the Catamounts. Although Western Carolina’s coach Larry Hunter is 0-2 against the College of Charleston, he joins Coach Cremins as being one of the few coaches in the SoCon having coached more than 780 games in their careers: Larry Hunter-531-252, .678 Win %, Coach Cremins 469-315, .598 Win %.
The Catamounts bring their “Princeton-style-offense” to Kresse Arena after defeating the Citadel by 10-points on Saturday. With only 7-games left on the calendar before the SoCon Tournament, you can bet Coach Cremins took advantage of the 7-day stretch since last Monday’s loss to Appalachian State, to rest the guys for two days and then to get the Cougars ready for action tonight. Another reason to focus on the end of the season, the College still trails Davidson by 2-games as the Wildcats won their 10th conference game this weekend. (The College of Charleston has the best record in the SoCon since 1998-99 but with 96-wins, Davidson only trails the College by 4 games on the All-time list.)

That freshman kid for Western can put some points on the board, no doubt.
