After a rocky start, WKU managed to take down the rival Marshall Thundering Herd 68-59 on Monday night.

Sophomore guard Josh Anderson led the way for the Hilltoppers with a career-high 25 points and five steals. Freshman center Charles Bassey recorded another double-double with 17 points and 17 rebounds.

Bassey saw an opportunity to attack Marshall’s smaller front court in the paint.

“Me posting down low creates the offensive game for my teammates,” Bassey said.
