Western Kentucky will be without Keith Williams and Zion Harmon this season.
Williams, who transferred to WKU from Cincinnati in the offseason, had his appeal for eligibility denied by the NCAA and Harmon is not enrolled this semester because of personal reasons, head coach Rick Stansbury told the Daily News on Tuesday.
Neither had played this season for the Hilltoppers (10-7 overall, 2-2 Conference USA).
The 6-foot-5, 215-pound Williams is coming off a season with the Bearcats in which he started 22 of 23 games and averaged a team-high 14.3 points on 39.8% (113-of-284) shooting from the field, 31.
