Rick Stansbury likes to see his Western Kentucky players take defense personally.
“Most everybody wants to talk about points and all that, and that’s great too,” the Hilltopper coach said. “When you get your guys really believing in defending, when you get your guys – excuse my words – pissed off because someone beat them, that’s when you’ve got something.”
WKU’s indeed “got something” early this season, off to a 5-2 start. The Toppers will go for a 6-2 record and a fourth straight win Saturday when they host Wright State (4-3). Tipoff from E.A. Diddle Arena is set for 4 p.
