Tops down Tigers to stay unbeaten at home

Western Kentucky’s defense turned into plenty of offense in Wednesday’s 78-51 win against Campbellsville at E.A. Diddle Arena. The Hilltoppers totaled 17 steals and scored 32 points off 24 Campbellsville turnovers for a relatively stress-free victory before embarking on an extended road trip. The Tops will play four away games before returning home on Dec. 1 to face Belmont – at Tulsa on Monday, then two neutral-site games against Richmond (Nov. 20) and George Washington (Nov. 22) in the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and finally a road game at Illinois on Nov. 27. After suffering its first loss of the season in a 97-94 shootout at Tennessee Tech on Sunday, WKU (3-1) picked up a little momentum as it prepares to hit the road again. “Obviously, happy to bounce back and get a win,” WKU coach Hank Plona said.
