Slow start dooms Lady Toppers against MTSU

The Western Kentucky women’s basketball team was unable to recover from a slow start, falling 77-60 to Middle Tennessee on Saturday at E.A. Diddle Arena.

WKU (3-9 overall, 2-4 Conference USA) fell into a large deficit early and tried to rally back, but fell short – dropping two home games to Middle Tennessee in a span of 24 hours. The Blue Raiders beat WKU 75-65 on Friday.

“They were definitely flat and I think some of that was playing back-to-back, playing two games in 24 hours,” WKU coach Greg Collins said. “They weren’t flat in shoot-around. They all had good energy in shootaround today.
