More bad news for the Catamounts.... there goes the season.
Western Carolina senior basketball players Trey Sumler and Josh Mendenhall have been suspended from the team indefinitely as they face charges in connection with an alleged assault in September.

That was damn stupid of those two. If they did it, they deserve jail time. Playing basketball is now the least of their problems.

We don't seem like we can catch a break in athletics.

Why does this mean that it is over for the basketball team? A team is made up of more than one person. Have you ever thought that maybe this will cause the others to step up and really make a difference this year? I still believe and despite what you think, I have faith that this is going to be an extraordinary season for the Men's basketball team! Go Cats, and prove the naysayers wrong!

We all hope you are correct. I'll still be there cheering them on. We do have other good players!

You tell me what happens to a team that only won 14 games last season with these same players, then they lose the one guy that played 38+ minutes per game, averaged 18.4 points per game (second in the SoCon), and scored in double figures 29 times during the season? Do you honestly think you can replace him from within the team? I'm still laughing at that one.

I am sure Hunter wishes we had the 2 scholarships to give out earlier in the year. I am sure coach is addressing any issues with the team that needs attention due to this mishap. Last year I saw our players less focused during games. Who cares if we lose games get the players that want another lifestyle out of our school and give their scholarship to the kids that have the work ethic, desire, and talent for NCAA Div I basketball and earning a WCU degree. Disappointed in you Trey and Josh.

All is not lost. Way more to come out about this very soon. One is guilty, one is not. Look for one to be dressed Monday against UNCA.

Obviously I dont know the particulars, but I could go on a lengthy rant about how these actions are a mirror of the entitlement culture we have bred as a society. Too many people have looked the other way when athletes do wrong.
Its not my place to judge these young men but they need to pay the price for there actions and unfortunately the rest of the WCU team and community now have to as well.
I really thought we would be in contention for a conference title this year, not a good way to start the season
