It wasn’t pretty, but WKU (13-14) earned a 59-54 victory over the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (10-17) in front of a home crowd after trailing by as many as 18 points Saturday afternoon.
The contest featured sloppy play from both teams as they combined to commit 38 turnovers while they only made 37 shots. The Tops also only shot 30 percent from the field in the matchup as Charlotte was able to shoot 51 percent.
For the Hilltoppers, the victory was very welcomed as they had previously lost three straight home matchups in very close fashion.
