Western Kentucky men's basketball coach Ray Harper said after Sunday's blowout loss at Marshall that he's looking for five players willing to defend.
To put it another way, Harper said Monday on his weekly radio show that the Hilltoppers have "got to find the toughest dudes that we've got going forward."
Harper gave a sneak peek of who might be among the team's toughest as WKU (8-6 overall, 0-1 Conference USA) searches for answers before hosting Florida International at 7 p.m. Thursday at E.A. Diddle Arena.
If his comments Monday were any indication, Harper might first turn to two freshmen.
