  • Western Carolina, down 21-11, after the first quarter but battled back to trail by two, 23-21, with 7:18 left in the second. Trumm took a three-pointer shot the circled the rim and rolled out. It would have given the Catamounts a 24-21 lead, instead, Furman turned the Catamounts' misfortune into a 15-0 run. WCU would never come that close to the Paladins again.
