The WKU men’s basketball team took care of business on Saturday night, handling Florida International University 74-63 in Diddle Arena. But the win came with a bit of a different look. Graduate transfer forward Dwight Coleby left the game early with an apparent leg injury which left senior forward Justin Johnson as the only true post player on the floor for the majority of the game.
