Braves Basketball Teams Face Catawba in NCAA Tourney
The stakes are high as both the men’s and women’s basketball teams from UNC Pembroke get set to take on familiar foe Catawba in the opening rounds of the NCAA Division II Tournament.
The UNCP men’s squad, seeded 5th in the Southeast Region, rides momentum from winning the Conference Carolinas tournament title into their third straight NCAA appearance. Coach Drew Richards hopes that championship run has his team primed to hit the ground running against the 4th-seeded Catawba Indians.
