The renewed in-state rivalry between Eastern Kentucky University and Western Kentucky University has resulted in victories for the Hilltoppers in both men’s and women’s basketball. The Lady Tops bested the Lady Colonels last night in Bowling Green 76 to 60.
It was a game in which EKU battled back to come from behind, but not far enough. The Lady Colonels got within two at ten to eight, but then Western scored ten straight points and lead by 14 at the half. In the second half, EKU kept coming, but couldn’t draw closer than ten points behind.
Eastern Kentucky travels to Florida this weekend for the Gator Holiday Classic and takes on North Carolina State. Western plays the College of Charleston Friday. In early December, the WKU men also came out on top beating the EKU Colonels.?
