Western Kentucky (2/12/11)

[CMJ]

WKU 38

NT 32

We closed the gap to a bucket on about 3 possessions, but could never get a stop. Hilltoppers then got a 4 point trip.

[CMJ]

WKU 50

NT 36

Halftime

Had the lead down to two...Hilltoppers go on a 12-0 run to end the half.

[TheTastyGreek]

One question. If MT is Mediocre TN, then what is WKU ? W Kommonplace U ? Humdrum U ?

When is the last time the Goattoppers beat us in anything ?

I refuse to let factual accuracy discourage me from borrowing a clever line.

Though I do encourage you to point out to Western fans, at every opportunity and as loudly/hurtfully as possible, that MTSU has pretty much owned them across the board in all sports lately.

[filmerj]

I'm still pissed about how the sunbelt giving WKU yet another home game against us. And pissed about the way we closed out the have. Guess I'm just pissed!

[greenminer]

Seems like I've been reading Pettigrew's name on WKU rosters since '99. I am ready for him to graduate.

[filmerj]

What has happened to this team?

[CMJ]

WKU 55

NT 42

Under 16 minute media TO

I think that 12-0 run really sunk us. We don't look like the team that played most of the 1st half to me.

[filmerj]

Disgusting display of basketball.

[CMJ]

WKU 67

NT 44

Under 12 minute media TO

This might be the lowest point we've had the last 4 seasons.

[ntexeagle]

Disgusting!

[Green Dozer]

I hate to say, but it seems they have quit on JJ. 8 days is plenty of time to for the players to get their "legs" back, and make adjustments for a winning run from here to the end of the season. Players only meeting looks like it resulted in nothing.

This team seems to have given up. How do you not get up for a game on national tv? All that work to build a name and earn respect, down the tubes.

The Tar Heels, Blue Devils, and Wildcats of the world hit bumps when they are suppose to dominate to...our future is still bright, but probably another 2 or 3 years from the Big Dance though. Looks like we may have spent to much energy in OOC play, while the rest of our conference did not.

[CMJ]

WKU 74

NT 55

Under 8 minute media TO.

At this point - I'm just hoping to get this under 15 by the final horn.

ugh.

WKU 82

NT 65

Under 4 minute media timeout

Holmen has also played okay today. He had a nice block a possession or two ago.

Maybe but the aforementioned teams have a rich basketball tradition, we do not. So their status doesn't come crashing down as easy.

[MootPoint]

One of the most disappointing performances I've watched in a while....

[CMJ]

WKU 87

NT 76

Final

Thank God that one is over.

[KRAM1]

It's WKU, not WKY.

We're not NTU, and if there's any school in this league that deserves the respect of a properly stated name, it's Western Kentucky.

And how much did WKU pay you for this Little rant? Man, touchy today aren't you? I would imagine that everyone knew who was being mentioned with the WKY (in case you forgot...KY is the abbreviation for the State of Kentucky, so it is not a slam...just sayin'). Good grief. We are referred to as NORTH TEXAS quite a bit and I don't take offense. Calling Western Kentucky University, Western Kentucky like the local papers in their home area do quite often doesn't seem to warrant such a response.

But, maybe you are a closet WKU fan...so be it. Or, maybe it's the Groom-zilla beginning to come out in you as the wedding date approaches. Who knows, but we'll forgive the rant this time. Just watch it, buster!

Athletically, we are North Texas.

[KRAM1]

Athletically, we are North Texas.

Exactly...just like WKU is Western Kentucky...which would be WKY for those who realize what state abbreviations are these days. Groom-zillas can get a bit touchy the closer to the date it gets.... Looks like a few folks have no sense of humor judging from the reactions to my original response. Too funny!

KY is both the abbreviation for Kentucky and a popular brand of sexual lubricant commonly used in homosexual intercourse. Referring to the school as WKU is a tricky way of suggesting that all who attend or support said school are in fact homosexuals.

Just fyi...

Also used in goat breeding

Wright Waters, in a video interview on the SBC official site, referred to them as Western Kensucky a couple of years back.
