Western Kentucky is a talented team that's off to an 8-2 start. It’s also a young team that associate head coach Greg Collins said is “still learning how to prepare for each game.”
Some of that was evident Monday night in a 64-56 win at Lipscomb.
The Lady Toppers faced a 3-9 Bisons team on a six-game losing streak with an RPI of 340. WKU, a program that’s been to two straight NCAA tournaments, was riding a four-game winning streak and went to Nashville on the heels of a 78-44 rout at College of Charleston.
But the Lady Toppers came out flat and didn’t take the lead for good until the 7:10 mark of the fourth quarter.
