To add to this already big loss, something to monitor will be if WKU will be without their top 3-point shooter senior guard Luke Frampton. Sharp leads the country with a total of 81 blocks and 4.3 blocks per game. Unfortunately for WKU, they’ll be without the nation’s leading shot blocker 7-5 senior center Jamarion Sharp. McKnight had a three-game stretch earlier this season where he scored 25 or more, showing that he can light it up at any given moment. McKnight has been WKU’S star player this season leading the team in PPG (17.0), APG (4.2) and SPG (1.9). The Hilltoppers are led by junior guard Dayvion McKnight. On defense, they’ve been holding opposing teams to a 40% field goal percentage. Their shooting has been impressive, shooting 45% from the field and just under 40% from three. WKU has played well on both ends of the floor this season, averaging 73.4 PPG while holding opponents to 69.2 PPG. FIU is 8-4 at home this season, meaning they’ll want to use homecourt advantage to tie things up and go 1-1 with WKU on the season.įor the Hilltoppers, they’ll be looking to shake off this three-game losing streak against the panthers, who were the last team that they beat before dropping three straight. The Panthers want to even the score against the Hilltoppers after dropping a game to them earlier this month at home. For the Panthers, a win against Western Kentucky this Thursday would go down as smooth as a swig of Kentucky bourbon, as FIU looks to avenge their earlier season loss to the Hilltoppers.Īfter ending their Texas road trip with a win against UTSA, FIU wants to continue their good play against WKU and get closer to that.
