The Bobcat Nation

Cats up 55-26 against the NAIA NNM Eagles. Maybe a chance to crack that century mark tonight?

Not much of a game, but the Cats are having fun. After the travel fiasco to Memphis & a tough game they probably deserve it.

73-30 Bocats with 14 minutes to go!

Up by 50 points, 85-35 with 7:30 to go!

95-44 Cats with 4:11 to go; all ten Cats that have played have scored; six different Cats have career highs in various stats!

Just passed the century mark, less than a minute to go.

All 11 Bobcats have scored; six in double digits!

Final: 103-54! Not a real competitive game, but sometimes you need one of those games where you really lay the wood to someone. A lot of bench guys got some valuable court time. Redshirt freshman Michael Swita from France gets his first points as a Bobcat.

Thanks TigerFan! Keep in mind the level of competition was significantly lower, as NNM is an NAIA team. But still, when you are supposed to give someone a thumpin', it's nice to actually go out and get it done!
