Western Kentucky’s women’s basketball team dropped a season-opening 87-47 decision to host Tennessee on Saturday in Knoxville, Tenn.
It had been 266 days since WKU last took to the court against another team. In that 266 days, the Lady Toppers had adapted a new look. Seven Lady Toppers logged minutes in a collegiate game for the first time ever Saturday against the Lady Vols.
“I’m proud of how hard my kids competed,” WKU coach Greg Collins said in a news release. “We have a lot of room for improvement. I think we’re going to be a lot better team, even by next weekend.
