Hilltoppers split series at Charlotte to open Conference USA play

WKU (8-3), (1-1, C-USA) fell 75-71 in overtime to Charlotte (5-4), (1-1, C-USA) to close the first road series of Conference USA play, ending its six game win streak.

“I think our biggest problem is the ability to make shots,” head coach Rick Stansbury said postgame. “It’s hard when everybody is collapsing when you can’t make enough shots. All of those things work better if you can jump up and make a couple more shots.”

There wasn't a lot of scoring to begin the game. A lot of defense and quite a few turnovers to begin the game.
