Article on Texas-Western Carolina Game

by dimecoverage on Nov 18, 2009 1:09 PM CST

The O'Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic presents a major mismatch tonight, as the third-ranked Texas Longhorns play host to the Western Carolina Catamounts.

Western Carolina is fresh off a 65-41 romp over St. Catherine's College in Kentucky on Saturday, and that game marked the season opener for the Catamounts. They exceeded expectations by grabbing a share of the North Division title in the Southern Conference last season, and this year's group figures to be even better. Head coach Larry Hunter has the experience and talent on his roster to battle for the SoCon crown, but beating Texas on its own floor appears highly unlikely.

I’ve been trying to find out more about WC — not much here or in the Statesman today. It appears that they have one of the better teams in the Southern Conference and they are returning everyone from last year. Their best player is Dikembe Mutombo’s nephew Harouna Mutombo, who plays guard. And, oh yes, a Catamount is a generic kind of wildcat.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
