The WKU men’s basketball team (12-11) flew past the Roadrunners of the University of Texas at El Paso (4-19) in an 83-71 routing Thursday night in San Antonio, Texas as the Hilltoppers earned their fourth conference victory.
WKU was coming into Texas with the thought of a heart-breaking last-second loss still lingering from Middle Tennessee last Saturday night.
The Hilltoppers came out of the gates red-hot as they shot 60 percent from the field in the first 20 minutes and led by as many as 25 points in the first half.
Senior guard Aaron Cosby scored 12 points in the first half while sinking two three pointers.
