Hello again. The #21/23 Iowa Hawkeyes (8-2, 0-2) return to the hardwood for a basketball game against the Western Carolina Catamounts (3-9, 0-1).
“What is a catamount?” you might ask. A catamount is the recently extinct eastern cougar most often found in the northeast but also as far south as Tennessee. Tennessee borders North Carolina to its west, so I will accept this nickname as quite good.
The Western Carolina basketball program is coached by first-year head coach Mark Prosser, previously an assistant coach at Winthrop and son of the dearly departed Skip Prosser.
