"It is good to be back home, We definitely need the next ten days on our home floor to straighten out this mess and try to turn the season around," said Jim Hartbarger, Western's head coach, Poorshooting and a lack of offensive rebounding strength have been the most obvious weaknesses in the Catamounts' last two games. In those losses, WCt! shot only 36% from the floor and was outrebounded by an average margin of 15 per game, "Since we have lost much of our inside game, we switched to a backcourt oriented offense and it hasn't paid off. Our shot selection has been poor and, on top of that, we have been getting only one attempt at the basket," Hartbarger added, Western's board play was expected to be led this year by 6'10" Joe Wolfe and 6'7" Rick Campbell, a pair of three year lettermen, However, both have been sidelined for the remainder of the year with injuries, A spark of hope for the Catamounts inside game appeared in the UNC-A game when 6'8" sophomore Bill Fleming came off the bench to score 22 points, Fleming is expected to join 6'3" sophomore Albert Toomer (12,9 ppg) and tarry Grant (9,1 ppg) is expected to remain intact with bench help from 5'8" sophomore buzz saw Dennis Sluder, , , , .
