Wofford is now 10-7 while Western Carolina sits at 8-9. A pair of defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Terriers have allowed their opponents to shoot 45.20% from the floor on average, which is the 49th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. The Catamounts have experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the contest with the 10th most points allowed per game in college basketball, having given up 78.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
