Hilltoppers' "mission" comes to unusual ending to cap 2019-20 season

FRISCO, Texas – The final blow to Western Kentucky’s season was felt all around college basketball.

The Hilltoppers won’t have an opportunity to get up from this one. It’s all over.

The cancellation of the men’s and women’s Conference USA tournaments and the NCAA Tournament on Thursday brought a sudden end to the college basketball season with no official champion.

The 2019-20 WKU season was one of pain and redemption, heartbreak and resiliency.

“You don’t think these group of guys came down here with something in mind?,” said Rick Stansbury, who ends his fourth year as WKU’s coach without a championship of any sort.
