Editor's note: A previous version of this story stated that Louisiana Tech led for the entirety of regulation. The Bulldogs actually led WKU for 39:58 of clock time in regulation, which forced the game into overtime. The article has since been corrected. The Herald regrets the error.
The WKU men’s basketball team (19-9, 12-4 C-USA) rallied from a 17-point deficit in the final 5:51 of regulation against Louisiana Tech (20-8, 11-5 C-USA) on Thursday night, forcing an overtime period that saw the Hilltoppers claim an unbelievable 95-91 win in Diddle Arena.
