WKU started slowly, but early substitutions sparked some excellent defensive pressure that put the Tops in the driver's seat midway through the first half. In total, the Tops forced 29 KSU turnovers and scored 32 points off of those TO's. In typical exhibition fashion, lots of players played lots of minutes, and the Tops looked disorganized at times. The glaring weakness was rebounding, as the Thorobreds outrebounded WKU 46-31. Read more about the game here.
The Tops open the regular season on Saturday night at Kennesaw State.
