The WKU men’s basketball team (3-0) traveled to in-state rival Eastern Kentucky (2-2) on Friday night, and the Hilltoppers knocked off the Colonels 79-71 on the road and notched their third straight victory to start the 2019-20 season in Alumni Coliseum in Richmond.
WKU has now started the year 3-0 for the first time since the 2007-08 season, which was the same year the Hilltoppers made a run to the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Tournament.
"In today's basketball, it's never easy to go anywhere and win on the road," head coach Rick Stansbury said in a release.
