Eighty percent of that practice time has been spent on defense, coach Rick Stansbury said.
So when WKU’s players got some freedom Friday night at Hilltopper Hysteria to play carefree and throw down a bunch of dunks, they took advantage.
Forward Dwight Coleby scored 20 points – mostly on thunderous dunks – Friday night during a 15-minute scrimmage at WKU’s annual tip-off event in E.A. Diddle Arena. He was the leading scorer as his White Team notched a 52-38 win over the Red Team.
Not that anyone was really keeping score. They were too busy watching an athletic group of Topper newcomers show what they can do at the rim.
