15-18 Western Kentucky pull off upset, win Sun Belt Tournament

March 7, 2012
By Tyler Bloyd of KentuckySports.co



wku-fansGo ahead and add another team from the Bluegrass State in the NCAA Tournament as Western Kentucky knocked off North Texas 74-70 tonight in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship.

This comes as a huge surprise as WKU ended the year with a 15-18 record and actually fired their coach mid-season when they began 5-14. But this didn't shut the team down as they turned it around, got hot when it counted and are now marching on to what seems to be a first round game in Dayton which if they win could set up a match up against UK here in Louisville at The Yum! Center.

So congratulations to the Hilltoppers and Vinny Zollo a former Billy Clyde commit, somewhere on a golf course he is proud, and all of you guys have made the state excited as you join Kentucky, Louisville and Murray State in the Big Dance! Go Tops!
