BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — After a win Thursday night at UTSA, WKU concludes its Conference USA road trip Saturday at 4:00 PM (CT) at UTEP.
The Hilltoppers used a 21-0 run from 13-12 down to 33-13 ahead to pull away from the Roadrunners, and WKU went 12-for-14 from the free throw line down the stretch to seal the win.
UTEP is commemorating the 50th anniversary of its 1966 national champion Texas Western team on Saturday, with WKU playing a role due to its success that season as well. Led by consensus All-American Clem Haskins, the 1965-66 Hilltoppers won the Ohio Valley Conference en route to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and finished the season with a 25-3 record.
