March Madness: Hilltopper Edition

After a long regular season full of high expectations and unknowns, WKU is finally headed to Birmingham, Alabama to put up a fight in the Conference USA Tournament.

The team was able to build some momentum this past week in conference play as they prepare for the postseason.

Thursday the Toppers got a win over the Mean Green of University of North Texas (8-22) by a final score of 74-63.

Senior guard Pancake Thomas willed the Tops to a victory with a game-high 23 points. Senior forward Anton Waters had a career night with 15 points, and he also scored the first eight points of the night for WKU.
