Slow starts. It’s an issue this team has battled all season long, and Saturday afternoon was no different. D.J. Johnson scored 6 straight points to help the Wildcats take a 6-2 lead, and two made three’s by Iwundu and Brown pushed the lead to 12-10 at the under 15 time out. The Rams would then go on a 22-12 run to take a 29-21 lead with just over 7 minutes left in the game. Following a time out Barry Brown sunk two straight free throws to stem the bleeding and helped spark the ‘Cats to a 44-37 halftime lead.
