ORLANDO, FL — The Wildcats fought their way out of a 20-point hole to pull within 4 points in the second and third quarters, but never could get over the hump in a 63-51 loss to the Minutemen White (New York).
The Cats rebound in the second game of the day in a must-win situation to grab a 80-52 victory over the GT Stars (Atlanta) to stay alive in tournament play.
North Mississippi will take on a familiar foe in the Roundballers (Louisiana) Saturday at 10:00 a.m. — a win and the Cats play again at 2:30 p.m. Both games will take place at the Milk House at Disney’s Wide World of Sports.
