West Virginia Wesleyan Comes To South Euclid Saturday.

The Notre Dame College Falcons welcome the Bobcats of West Virginia Wesleyan to Murphy Gym on Saturday. Tip time is set for 4 PM and you can catch all the action on NotreDameFalcons.com with Andrew Luftglass on the call.
  NDC (5-18 3-14) looks to snap a five game losing slide as they face a team they have already beaten this season. When asked what is the biggest thing the Falcons have to do to complete the season sweep of the Bobcats. Kyauta Taylor did not hesitate:
"Get Defensive Stops." Taylor said"
  Drew Scarberry spoke to what he thinks needs to happen for the Falcons to get back in the win column:
" We need to come out with some fire and be ready to go play our butts off.  We know that we need to play as hard as possible to increase our chances of winning. It can be done but we need to execute our game plan. " Scarberry said."
  NDC comes into Saturday off a 85-64 loss to Glenville State at home on Thursday night. Angelo Cugini and Cole Hayes led the Falcons with 16 points each- while Scarberry scored 10. The Falcons did not shoot it well from the field (33 percent) or from the 3-point line (20 percent.)  They shot 71 percent (10-14) from the free throw line.  The Falcons were -10 on the boards as well.
  Taylor leads the team in scoring at 18.1 points per game but has totaled just nine points in the last two contests.  Drew Scarberry averages 13.6 per night- while Cugini gets 11 points and 8.3 rebounds per game.  The Falcons average 82.6 points a game- while they give up 94.0 points on the defensive end.  The Falcons make 12.1 3-pointer's a game but have struggled in the last three contests from the 3-point line.
  Wesleyan has won four straight after starting 2-17 on the season.
