WKU comes out victorious over Mississippi Valley State in home opener, Gardner-Webb slated for Thursday

WKU (3-2) defeated the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils (0-5) 96-69 in a contest that was dominated from start to finish even with inconsistent play at times.

“We had 21 offensive rebounds, that's a plus, we had 21 assists, that's a plus. We had a chance to play a lot of people, that’s always good. We haven't had a game like that all year long,” head coach Rick Stansbury said.

WKU came out firing on all cylinders, shooting 4-5 to start the game and getting to the free-throw line seven times within the first five minutes, which was four less than its total against the University of Louisville.
