By good, he meant the first half of Western Kentucky’s game against Nicholls. The Hilltoppers went into the break up 62-32, with those 62 points representing WKU’s most scored in a first half since at least the 2001-02 season.
By bad, Stansbury meant everything that happened after that first half. WKU ended up with a 100-86 victory Sunday against the Colonels, but not before playing sluggish and sloppy over the final 20 minutes.
Defensively, the Hilltoppers held the Colonels to a 11-of-35 (31.4 percent) mark on field goal attempts over the first 20 minutes.
Stansbury is 17-18 in his second year at Western Kentucky and 310-184 in his coaching career.
