The Week Ahead: Toccoa Falls

The Catamounts experienced a tough time last week and will look to get back on the winning track tonight in the Ramsey Center against Toccoa Falls.

Things look bright for Western as they will face a team from the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA). The Eagles are 3-5 so far on the year with their last game a 73-70 win over Piedmont College. Another glaring contrast between the Catamounts and Eagles is the Toccoa Falls' roster features no player of 6'5''. The Catamounts' tallest guard Brandon Boggs is 6'5''.

With that here's the Key's to the Game: 
-Rebounds: There is no reason WCU shouldn't win the battle of boards. With four players 6'7'' or taller the Cats should dominate the boards by at least 20.

-Take Care of the Rock: Against Furman, the Cats turned the ball of 16 times. That may be acceptable tonight against a sub par opponent, but Coach Hunter will be looking for a better effort from his team in all phases of the game.

-Play with some Enthusiasm: The Cats have look flat in their last two losses. Hopefully tonight they can get back on the winning track and put this game to bed early and have fun doing so.

Prediction: WCU 105 Toccoa Falls 58
