Stansbury shakes up Hilltopper lineup

Rick Stansbury mixed things up a bit Thursday for Western Kentucky’s 75-63 victory against Florida Atlantic.

The Hilltopper coach tinkered with his team’s lineup following a dismal performance Saturday in a 74-63 loss at Texas-San Antonio. Stansbury lamented his team’s “energy and toughness” in that defeat and spoke of “complacency” that had set in around the program.

Stansbury made a rare change to his starting five for Thursday’s game, giving Josh Anderson his first career start. The freshman Anderson was inserted in place of fellow guard Lamonte Bearden, who started 21 of WKU’s first 23 games this season.
