Hysteria, open scrimmage a preview of expected big crowds

With the season almost here, the hype for the WKU men’s basketball season is beginning to mount.

The Hilltoppers hosted two preseason events last week in Diddle Arena: Hilltopper Hysteria and an open scrimmage. While the format for each event was different, there was a common theme—Bowling Green residents and WKU students showed up to the events in a big way.

“All of y’all that showed up tonight without a ticket, you better get one real soon,” head coach Rick Stansbury told the crowd at Hilltopper Hysteria.

The hype around this year’s Hilltopper basketball team is real.
