Colbert Back as Panthers Roll Past UNC Wilmington
High Point College defeated UNC Wilmington 100 to 62 in a nonconference game snapping a three game skid. The return of all star guard Jim Colbert provided a spark, though he played limited minutes due to a lingering foot bruise. Coach Bob Vaughn said Colbert is essential for a late stretch run and leadership. The Panthers surged ahead after a tight start led by Witt, Smith, and Allen. Colbert noted gradual improvement and aims to strengthen the foot within a week or so.
