We are somewhat disappointed yes, but not frustrated. College basketball is a very long season. We have a lot of games yet to play.

The mens team has eight freshmen and three sophomores while the womens has five fresh- man and four sopho- mores.

As the team wrap up cross country season, they move on to prepar- ing for indoor track, where they look to be serious competitors and win the SoCon confer- ence. val Appalachian State rivalry, Its not re- ally about Appalachian State being our rival, its just those are the games we have per- formed best in. Hunter is optimistic and confident in the Catamount basketball program. He said, If we stay together and continue to believe and stay the course with our system we will get our wins... We are improving each : game asa team. Although there are a few games before the Appalachian State game, Hunter said, I. know our guys will be excited to finally return home and to be play- ing ASU.
