The UB point guard moves from the reigning Mid American Conference champions to the Hilltoppers of Conference USA
Last month it was announced that UB junior Lamonte Bearden received a release from his scholarship with the Bulls. John Rothsein is tweeting that Bearden has since committed to go to Western Kentucky and will sit one year before playing two with the Hilltoppers.
As a true freshman Bearden, was touted as a high-level recruit out of Wisconsin and contributed to UB's first Mid-American conference championship by immediately starting and averaging 8.3 points and 4.4 assists per game.
