The Cats trailed by six when freshman guard Carey Rich scored underneath, starting the run. When the dust setded, Western held a ten point lead 67-57 with a long ten minutes and 42 seconds lo play. Tech responded with three pointers by Bobby McWilliams and Bruce Oglesby, but the Cats refused to break to the team lhat had beaten them 107-87 earlier in the season in Cookeville, Tenn., answering every attempt at a comeback.
