The WKU men’s basketball team (14-15) faced off against the Blazers of the University of Alabama Birmingham (24-5) late Saturday morning for the second time this season.
The Toppers were looking to go 2-0 against UAB this season after taking them down in Diddle Arena earlier in the year as the Tops ended the nations’ longest win streak.
WKU fell short this time around falling to the Blazers 67-71 in a tightly-fought contest that went down to the final minute of play to keep things interesting.
The Hilltoppers started the game on the right foot, displaying an effective offense.
