Once in a yery great while, in the high-pressure world Of major college sports, a team can he considered a success without having a winning season. That has been the cast- for Western Carolina s basketball nam this year. Although they finished the season with a 64-56 loss to Marshall In the first round of the Southern Conference roumament, and an overall 7-19 record, everyone associated with the program is anything but unhappy oyer the progress of WCU basketball. ihe Cats began the season with only one returning letterman and Starter from last year's club that yyent only nit), f-'rod Conley resigned in the summer and the new coach Nleyc Cottrell yyas soon faced with a NCAA investigation and probation. Also the school yvas in the beginnings of their first year in the Southern Conference. Ihe schedule yyas tough. Ihe preseason experts picked WCU for last in the Southern and it was no secret that they were favored in very lew games. lo add lo the problems as the season began. Bubba Wilson had lo sil out the first two games of the season as pan of the probation punishment. Huich Pearson was dropped from the team after three games (with a 23 point scoring average), reserve Vance Hughes quit soon afterward, ami the club suffered injuries lo several players throughout the season.
