The Hilltoppers have been on a roll, showcasing a strong offensive game with an impressive 57 percent field goal percentage in their last match against the Miners. Their scoring prowess was on full display as they racked up 90 points, outpacing their opponents by a significant margin.
The team's defensive efforts have also been noteworthy; they managed to block six shots and steal the ball another six times in that same game. This defensive solidity combined with their offensive efficiency has become a hallmark of Western Kentucky's playstyle.
In terms of rebounding, Western Kentucky has shown tenacity on both ends of the court. They've consistently out-rebounded their opponents, grabbing 42 rebounds in one of their recent games and converting those opportunities into valuable second-chance points.
