The WKU men's basketball team was unable to follow up its Friday upset of West Virginia with a win in the championship round of the Myrtle Beach Invitational. The Hilltoppers fell to Central Florida 78-62.
Bassey led the way for WKU with 25 points (10-of-18), 10 rebounds, two steals, a block and an assist. The freshman now has three double-doubles already early in his first season on the Hill.
WKU (3-2) jumped out to the early lead against UCF, thanks in large part to freshman center Charles Bassey who scored 15 of the team’s first 19 points.
