The Hilltoppers instead blew yet another double-digit lead and took a third straight league defeat.
Florida International rallied from a 16-point deficit in the final 12 minutes Thursday and stunned WKU with a 77-76 victory at E.A. Diddle Arena.
Coach Rick Stansbury’s Toppers (8-9, 1-3 C-USA) have lost three straight games for the first time since the 2016-17 season. WKU sits mired 11th in the league standings, a half-game ahead of three teams tied for last in the league.
The Hilltoppers would be 4-0 in league play if they hadn’t blown a combined 52 points worth of leads over the last three losses.
