Hilltoppers hope to erase memories of last trip to Old Dominion

Rick Stansbury doesn’t expect his Western Kentucky squad to start Saturday’s game at Old Dominion like it did its last time there.

“We’re not going to get out to a 21-0 lead this time,” the Hilltopper coach Stansbury said Thursday. “That’s not going to happen.”

Of course, Stansbury also wants a better outcome than the Jan. 5 meeting. WKU blew its early 21-point lead that night as the Monarchs surged for a 69-66 home win.

Seven weeks later, the programs meet again at noon CST on Saturday in the Ted Constant Center. Stadium will stream the Conference USA matchup online, with WKU-PBS broadcasting it in Bowling Green.
