  • March 26, 2010 WESTERN CAROLINIAN TO Pn kD nek Ag eLAM L Page 10 SPORTS Western Carolina drops heart-breaker in CIT Tourney Justin Caudell | Editor-in-Chief Trailing by a dozen points inside the games final five minutes, Western Carolina methodically chipped away at Marshalls advantage, knotting - the game at 88 on a 3-pointer by Brandon Giles, the fifth Catamount trey during that same span. On the ensuing possession, the Thundering Herds Tyler Wilkerson fum- bled the ball down the right sideline while fying, to push for the games final shot. WCUs.Harouna Mutombo collapsed on the loose ball where time apparently ran out. However, WCU was tagged with a technical foul for ap- parently calling an excessive timeoutone it did not pos- _ _sessduring the loose ball scrum. Damier Pitts then calmly buried the two tech-_ nical free throws to hand the i Ta auderine Herd a two- Justin Caudell | Editor-in-Chief The Western Carolina Uni- versity Board of Trustees has unanimously approved a one-year contract extension for Dennis Wagner, who re- cently turned down a posi- tion at the University of Kan- sas to remain as the Cata- mounts head football coach. The action came Fri- day, March 12 as part of the boards quarterly meeting. Wagner, who is 5-19 in two seasons at WCU, eared | 5000 in ae first year, His point, 90-88, advantage. With just half a second put back on the scoreboard clock after the technical, Giles cor- ralled a long inbounds pass just beyond mid-court and missed what would have been a game-winning des- -peration heave from well be- yond NBA 3-point range at the buzzer to end WCUs re- -markable season in the open- ing round of the Colleg- -elnsider.com Tournament. Senior Jake Robinson made four of his six 3-pointers dur- ing the late rally to finish with a team-high 21 points in the heart-breaking road loss while classmate Giles finished with 13 points and eight re- bounds for the Catamounts. Pitts led all scorers with 24 points including 15 from the charity stripe for Marshall (24-9) which advances to the second round of the CIT. tae were aware [we had two through four and will go to $190,000 in year five. The extension is for a sixth year, which will pay him $200,000. Wagner, former offensive line coach at the University of Nebraska, became WCUs _ football coach in 2008, signing a five-year contract. With the amendments approved by the WCU board, his contract is ex- tended through January 2014. We are pleased with the progress that we see our foot- ball program making under. Coach Wagner, and we wanted to demonstrate our commit- continuing that pro coat no timeouts]. We commu- nicated it, but obviously not near enough, and thats prob- ably my fault, said WCU head coach Larry Hunter dur- ing post-game interviews with the media. I thought we did a great job. We tied it up and got a deflection, its a loose ball and we dove on the floor, a great hustle and effort play after itand we also told the officials we had no timeoutsand the offi- cial said, Hey, I saw him call it; Ive got to make the call. Hunter added, But ve also seen lot of situations you just say, Hey, thats a loose ball, and you know whats going on and you dont de- cide a game at that particular point. [But] you know, Im a big boy, Im in my 39th year of college coaching, so Ive been in a lot of situations, and those things happen. In anion to Robinson ress, Athletic Directoy Chip Smith said. The fact that a major football program at- tempts to hire him away is an indication that his abili- ties as a leader are noticed not just here, but nationally. Wagener was an assistant coach at Nebraska alongside Turner Gill, who was recently hired as head coach at Kansas. While Western Carolina was 2-9 last season, they finished strong with an upset of East- erm Kentucky and a five-point loss to perennial power Appa- ye State in the final Me and Giles, junior Richie Gor- don also finished in double figures, scoring 13 points be- fore fouling out late in the second half. Both Harouna Mutombo and Mike Wil- liams finished with 10 points apiece with Mutombo match- ing a career-high with five steals. Anthony Phillip just missed double digits with nine points off the WCU bench. Western Carolina (22- 12) erased a nine-point first half deficit and led by two before heading to the half- time locker room tied at 37. Mutombos lay-up at the 13:53 mark of the second half gave the Catamounts their largest lead of the game, a four-point edge, 52-48, prompting a Marshall timeout. After the stoppage, the Herd rattled off six-straight points to reclaim the lead, 54-52. Ahead _ by one, 61-60, Marshall em- Daeehe ona 13- ee run Sie: agner to stay a little w ESSENTIALS included six free throws by Pitts on three-consecutive possessions to build a game- high 12-point lead, 74-62. It was at this point, with the season hanging in the proverbial balance, WCU re- sponded. Beginning at the ; 3:46 mark, Western Caro- lina outscored Marshall, 23- to-11, to rally, tying the game on a 3-pointer inside the final six seconds of regulation. Robinsons four treys dur- ing the Catamounts run were sandwiched around a triple. by Phillip and a combined five made free throws. Robin- son, a native of Canton, N.C., missed what would have been a game-tying fifth 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining as the shot rattled out after fall- ing halfway through the cyl- inder and catapulted over the top of the backboard. How- ever, Giles came up with a steal as Marshall attempted an inbounds pass and drained a triple from the right win that did knot the game, setting up the closing second theatrics. Marshall held a com- manding edge from the free throw line, making 34-of-48 (70%) from the stripe against WCUs 9-of-12 (75%). The loss ends the collegiate career of five Western Caro- tina seniors. Brandon Giles, Jake Robinson and Brigham Waginger played all four years in Cullowhee, while Adrian Gailliard and Kend- all Russell each transferred to WCU prior to last season and played two seasons for the pur- ple and gold. Giles and Robin- son each eclipsed 1,000 career points, with the latter setting the school record for 3-point- ers made. Waginger set both single-season (90) and career (285) records for steals.
