When you think of a typical blowout in college basketball, you probably think of a 20+ point victory. Well, have you ever heard of a team winning by 102? Yep that's right! This happened Tuesday night when Western Carolina put the smackdown on Toccoa Falls, winning 141-39. Here's the story:
The Catamounts, having come into the game on a two-game losing streak easily erased that with a very convincing victory to say the least. The worst part is this broke their previous points record of 133 playing, yes, the same Toccoa Falls team back in 2001! As if that wasn't enough, the Catamounts also broke a record scoring 72 points in the first half alone. A total of nine Catamounts scored in double figures. WCU also led in rebounding, 62-16.
Okay, I don't think I've ever heard of such a score in college basketball! I mean, I've heard of (and seen) some blowouts before but nothing like this. Given that WCU's highest point totals in school history have come from playing the same team, I think Toccoa Falls needs to learn a lesson not to put the Catamounts on their schedule again!
