Strong bench effort helps Hilltoppers defeat Charlotte in conference opener

Coming off of a huge win in Diddle Arena against Wisconsin, WKU needed to create its own energy on the road at Charlotte. The Hilltoppers were able to do just that, cruising to a 68-50 victory.

The Hilltoppers were led by redshirt junior wing Jared Savage, who had a team-high 13 points, six rebounds and two assists. The Hilltoppers also got 23 points from the bench as well.
