CAM comes into the game playing their best basketball of the season. The 21-2 Cougars dominated from wire-to-wire in their Regional final win over Colo-Nesco 66-29. The Cougars moved the ball well, played great pressure defense, and shot the light out in that win big win. CAM Head Coach Joe Wollum talked about the spot the Cougars are in right now.
CAM is averaging 67 points per game as a team and has two players that average double figures in seniors Madison Gettler (19.5ppg) and Paige Mcafee (13.3ppg).
