Hilltoppers clamp down on North Texas for 4th straight win

DENTON, Texas – Western Kentucky on Saturday endured tired legs, an unfamiliar coaching situation and a home team that had lost only four games all year.

The Hilltoppers overcame all that to make an early defensive statement, then held on for a gritty road victory.

WKU held North Texas to only 15 first-half points and fended off the Mean Green for a 62-59 win Saturday at The Super Pit.

The victory gave the Toppers (15-10 overall, 8-4 Conference USA) their first four-game winning streak of the season. They’ve now won seven of eight since a 1-3 start to C-USA play.
