WKU bounced back from an opening night loss to beat Kentucky Wesleyan 83-53 on Wednesday.
WKU’s win came thanks to a widespread attack, as six players scored in double figures. Senior forward Dwight Coleby led the way with 19 points, a career-high for him. Freshman guard Jake Ohmer and freshman forward Marek Nelson followed with 12 points apiece. Junior guard Lamonte Bearden had 11 points. Senior guard Darius Thompson and Senior forward Justin Johnson had 10 points each.
“A balanced attack is better than someone just coming and having, whatever, 40-50 points,” Nelson said. “It makes it a lot easier when you’re sharing the ball, and being unselfish.
