After Bennett's free throws, Martin and Emre Atsur each had tries to tie the game, but came up short allowing the Eagles to escape with the win.

The Zanesville, Ohio, native sank two free throws to start the second half and had back- to-back assists as WCU went on an 11-4 run to start the second half and take a two-point lead (36-34). The Mocs would regain the advantage over the next four minutes, until a Martin jumper tied the game at 42-42 with 12:25 remaining. After a UTC missed 3-pointer, James Johnson hit a wide open Alex Osipovitch for a fast break layup, giving the Cats a 44-42 lead.

Mens Head Basketball Coach Signs Contract Extension Western Carolina Director of Athletics Jeff Compher announced that, based on his and WCU Chancellor John Bardos recommendations, the Universitys Board of Trustees Executive Committee approved a two-year contract extension for Catamount head mens basketball coach Steve Shurina through the 2005-06 season. Coach Shurina has done a very good job of building our mens basketball program into a total program, Compher said. He has stressed the importance of academics and is working hard to be sure that every player has a chance to earn a degree from Western. He has recruited well and has an excellent eye for character as well as talent. We have seen improvement competitively and | am confident that trend will continue. This is well deserved extension for Steve, his staff and most importantly his team. We appreciate his commitment to Western and look for continued success for our basketball program. Shurina, whose four-year contract was set to expire this coming April, has led the Catamounts to an 11-9 record this season. He has done so despite having WCUs all-time leader in blocked shots Rans Brempong miss all but one game this season due to an injury and Brempongs replacement in the starting lineup, junior college transfer Lunzaya Nlandu, missing each of the last 11 games due to an injury as well. Despite the losses, Western has won 11 of its first 20 games in a season for just the 10th time over the past 27 years. However, over the past 18 years, the feat has only been accomplished three times, two of which have come during Shurinas four-year tenure. Shurina, the 16th head basketball coach at WCU, has a 38-69 career record to date and his 38 wins makes him the seventh-winningest Catamount basketball coach. At the completion of his new extension, Shurina would have six years under his belt and be the third-most tenured Catamount head basketball coach, trailing only Jim Gudger (19 years) and Steve Cottrell (10 years). | am very thankful for all those who have supported me, including my players and coaches, the administration, alumni, friends and the fans, Shurina said. There is no question we are building a program, and | stress the word program, that everyone can and will be proud of. Shurina, 37, is a 1988 graduate of St. Johns. He played for Hall of Fame coach Lou Carnessecca at St. Johns from 1984-88 and made four NCAA Tournament trips, including the 1985 Final Four. He was a two-time selection on the Big East Basketball Academic team and he received the McSwinney Award, which goes to the senior male athlete that best typifies a St. Johns man. Prior to his current appointment, Shurina spent one year as an assistant at Vanderbilt (1999-2000), seven years at Davidson (1992-99) - including three years as associate head coach, and two years at Brooklyn College (1990-92). eed] u us { s for rates: we_mexketingasret 1. wea, 0-60
