Western Carolina Catamounts Basketball Tickets

Watch three-pointers galore with Western Carolina Basketball tickets. The Western Carolina Catamounts men's basketball team is many things. They are a unique university with an Intercollegiate program, they currently play in the Southern Conference which has schools all over east Tennessee and north Georgia as well other parts of North and South Carolina.

The school's first basketball team was formed in 1928 and has played every season since. The Catamounts, who were 1930 Southeastern Junior College champions and made their debut in the NAIA Tennis Tournament in 1947, are one of the most storied programs in collegiate basketball. Head Coach Jim Gudger led the Catamounts to their first 20-win season in 1952-53, also securing a North State Conference title in 1959.

He also coached four NAIA District Tournament appearances in the late 1950s to late 1960s before leading them into an appearance at the national championships against Texas-Pan American. Jim Hartbarger took over for Gudger in 1971, and he led the Catamounts to two more District victories in 1971 and 1972. From their first game in 1996, the Catamounts were a force to be reckoned with. They won Southern Conference Championships which led them into the NCAA Division I Tournament as an underdog against the number 1 seed Purdue University which they almost won in a vigorous back-and-forth play but ultimately lost this barn burner 71-73.
