WKU coach Rick Stansbury and his program were grateful for that opportunity to face Boston College at home. No. 4 seed WKU took advantage and routed the No. 5 seed Eagles 79-62.
“(The NIT committee) showed us a lot of respect for what we did all season long, to get a No. 4 seed and a home game and send a Power Five team here to Bowling Green, to Diddle Arena,” Stansbury said. “That’s respect. I like that.”
Boston College became the first ACC school to visit Diddle Arena since No. 4 Louisville scored a 76-67 win on the Toppers’ home floor Dec.
