Saturday night the WKU men’s basketball team faced off against the first place team in Conference USA, Middle Tennessee State University.
Saturday night the blue team in the “hundred miles of hate” rivalry ousted the Hilltoppers by a final score of 91-76. With the loss, WKU fell to 9-10 on the year and 3-3 in conference play.
Last year, Blue Raiders head coach Kermit Davis led his squad to a C-USA tournament championship. After taking home the trophy in Birmingham, MTSU continued their winning ways in the NCAA tournament, knocking off a second-seeded Michigan State team as a 15 seed.
