Catamounts Clipped by VMI in Tight Overtime Battle
Cullowhee, N.C. – Marcus Kell capped Western Carolina’s 13-point second-half comeback, handing the Catamounts a two-point lead at 71-69 with a layup with 70 seconds remaining in Saturday afternoon’s Southern Conference rematch with VMI on Ingles Court at the Ramsey Center. However, including a game-tying deuce that forced overtime, the Keydets scored 11 of the game’s final 16 points as VMI escaped with an 80-76 league win.
