Rick Stansbury didn’t hesitate after Thursday’s victory over Gardner-Webb when discussing Western Kentucky’s next opponent – he believes it’ll be the best team to visit E.A. Diddle Arena this season.
The Hilltoppers will host a Rhode Island team that’s faced a tough schedule early this season in an 11 a.m. game Sunday.
“First thing you need to know with 3-3 is who they’ve played, who’s beat them,” Stansbury said Thursday. “ ... They have three losses, but they’re really quality teams. They will be the most talented team that’s going to come into Diddle Arena this season as of right now, unless (associate athletic director for communications and men’s basketball) Zach (Greenwell) finds somebody else.
