BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Western Kentucky sophomore forward Justin Johnson walked into the locker room at Legacy Arena on Tuesday and had a sinking feeling wash over him again.
"I walked in one of those locker rooms today and had the feeling - the same feeling I had last year," Johnson said. "I don't want that feeling again. I remember sitting in that locker room after the game and thinking, 'Man, I don't want this feeling.' "
The eighth-seeded Hilltoppers (16-15) return to Birmingham for this week's Conference USA Tournament looking for redemption amid a recent hot streak.
