Western Kentucky’s second game at E.A. Diddle Arena this season didn’t come quite as easy as the first.
A late first-half run Tuesday pushed the Hilltoppers ahead of Indianapolis and they didn’t look back from there on the way to a 68-50 victory to move to 3-0 on the season.
“First off, when we scheduled this game, we knew this was a really good basketball team,” WKU coach Rick Stansbury said. “They were picked to win that league and it was good for us – different brand, tough, hard physical team, going to move it, going to spread that court, going to be disciplined, not going to run up and down the court with us, going to try to slow that tempo down a little bit and they were good at what they did.
