Newcomers add shooting, quickness for Tops

The Western Kentucky men’s basketball team brought plenty of experience back with it when the team returned to campus July 9 for workouts as part of the school’s COVID-19 athletic restart plan, but even with all the pieces the Hilltoppers have coming back, head coach Rick Stansbury had a need to address.

WKU returns 67 percent of its minutes played from last season’s 20-10 team, but loses Jared Savage and Camron Justice – the team’s leaders in 3-pointers made. Long-range shooting is an area Stansbury feels the team is improving on by landing Davidson transfer Luke Frampton this summer, and he’s just one of the newcomers the Hilltoppers’ coach is hopeful about.
