PAGE 4/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/FEBRUARY 22. 1979 sports 'Thundering Herd' headed into Reid for playoffs Coach Steve Cottrell can claim the underdog role for his team's first round game in the Southern Conference championship tournament here Saturday night and no one can justifiably accuse the Catamounts second-year mentor of psychological warfare. He is quick to point out that Marshall's Thundering Herd has soundly beaten his Catamounts twice this season, both on the road and in Reid Gym, the site of Saturday's game. He also notes that the so-called home court advantage is virtually non-existant in the Southern Conference this season. The Western Carolina-Marshall clash is one of four first round tournament games scheduled for the home courts of the conference's top four teams in regular season play. Elsewhere, regular season champion Appalachian State plays host to last place VMI; second place finisher Furman is at home against seventh place UT-Chattanooga; and The Citadel, third in the final regular season standings, meets sixth place Davidson in Charleston. Western finished a surprising fourth place in the conference after having been pegged for seventh place by the league's coaches and media. The Catamounts (5-7 conference; 13-13 overall) edged out Marshall (5-8 conference; 11-15 overall) for fourth place and the coveted home court designation by a half-game margin. The game is a replay of last year's first round game played on the Thundering Herd's home court in Huntington, West Virginia. Marshall won that game 64-56. The winners of this weekend's games will advance to the Roanoke (Va.) Civic Center for the semi-final round, March 3. The championship game will be played there March 4. "We are approaching this game like most teams would the national championship," said Cottrell. "There is no tomorrow come Saturday. We set two goals before the season began. One was to have a winning season and the second was to make it to Roanoke for the semi-finals. These were high goals for us, but we can fulfill both with a win Saturday," he explained. Cottrell is a legitimate conference coach-of-the-year candidate in this, his second year at Western. He took a basketball program in near ashes and in the midst of an NCAA investigation and finished a surprising sixth in the conference last year with four league victories. This year's squad has already improved by six wins over last season and has a chance to become the first winning team Western has fielded since joining the NCAA Division I basketball ranks three years ago. To say that Marshall has Western Carolina's number in basketball is an understatement. The schools have met seven times on the hardwood and the Thundering Herd has claimed six victories, including the last three games. "They are the only team that has soundly beaten us twice in the conference this season," said Cottrell. "They have a whammy on us. They have handled us with ease both times and we didn't play a bad game either time...they just played great basketball," he added. The Thundering Herd of Coach Stu Aberdeen downed the Catamounts by 15, 64-59, in Reid Gym in January and by 12. 80-68, in Huntington two weeks ago. "It is a mystery to me how they finished below us in the conference. They always play like conference champions against us," noted Cottrell. "I really can't explain why they have been so successful against us. It's a matter of circumstances, I guess. Our personnel does not react well to the things they do. Their zone defenses, and they play them extremely well, really bogs down our offense and we seem to lose our concentration on defense when they play their patient brand of offense," pondered Cottrell. Cottrell added that Marshall's domination of the backboards was the key factor in both games this Coach Cottrell season and labeled the Herd's Greg White as the key player in both contests. "He has been like a surgeon for them...he just cuts us apart. We have go to do a much better job on him," he said of the sophomore point guard. "We really don't plan to drastically change our Eric Taylor offensive and defensive game plans that we used against them in the other games this season...we just plan to execute better," offered Cottrell. Marshall will be led by all-conference wing Benny Gibson, one of the nation's finest pure-shooters, who is scoring at a 16.9 clip; freshman wing George Washington, a candidate for the conference's rookie-of- the-year award, who is averaging 16.6 points; sophomore Ken Labanowski, a 6-7 backboard policeman, who is pulling down 9.1 rebounds and finding time to score 12.6 points a game; and White, the floor general, who leads the conference in assists and in free-throw shooting. Western will counter with a similiar wing-oriented offense that relies on perimeter shooting and a defense that counts on zones. 6-5 Raymond Person is the Catamount's all-conference candidate. The Brooklyn senior is scoring at a 17.2 clip and scored 22 and 24 points in this season's games against Marshall. A pair of rookies are Western's other top offensive threats—6-2 Greg Dennis and 6-7 Eric Taylor. Dennis is averaging 12.3 points a game and plays an aggressive brand of defense. Taylor gets his points around the boards, averaging 10.2 a game, and is developing into an impressive rebounder, showing a 7.9 per game average. 6-7 Terry Rutherford is the Cat's designated rebounder as he ranks fourth in the conference with 8.7 grabs per game. Sophomore Larry Caldwell (7.8 ppg and 4.3 assists) rounds out the lineup at point guard. "Although we lost the last two games (The Citadel and South Carolina), we played pretty good basketball," said Cottrell. "I wish we were just starting our conference schedule." "Raymond (Person) has had three outstanding games in a row. He is playing all-conference caliber basketball and Terry (Rutherford) has been very consistent lately and is doing a great job on the boards," he noted. Tickets on sale for Sat.
