Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Set to Battle UTSA Roadrunners at UTSA Convocation Center

As the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers prepare to face off against the UTSA Roadrunners at the UTSA Convocation Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent loss. The Hilltoppers have shown resilience in their past games, but consistency has been an issue that they'll need to address.

In their last game against North Texas Mean Green, the Hilltoppers fell short by four points, finishing with 66 points compared to Mean Green's 70. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their free-throw accuracy was impressive at 83 percent. However, they struggled from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of just 21 percent and will need to improve in this area.

The previous match saw them lose narrowly again by five points against Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. They managed a slightly better field goal percentage of around 41 percent but were let down by their free throws where they only made 40 percent.

However, it's not all doom and gloom for the Hilltoppers. Before these two losses, they secured a close win over Rice Owls with a score of 78-81. Their field goal percentage was stronger at approximately 44 percent and they had an edge in rebounds as well as assists.

Looking ahead to the upcoming game on January 7th at UTSA Convocation Center in San Antonio – which is known for its vibrant atmosphere that could pose an additional challenge for visiting teams – Western Kentucky will need to focus on improving their shooting efficiency and maintaining strong defense if they want to secure a win away from home.
