Western Kentucky Wins Sun Belt Tournament


Teeng Akol scored 23 points and Western Kentucky rallied for a 74-70 win over North Texas on Tuesday night in the championship game of the Sun Belt conference tournament.
The win caps a stunning run for the Hilltoppers (15-18), who earned their first NCAA tournament berth since 2009 by winning four games in as many days. Western Kentucky, which has won six straight overall, opened the season 5-11 -- resulting in the firing of coach Ken McDonald.

This makes 4 teams from the state of Kentucky that will make the tournament this year.  Western Kentucky will most likely be a 16 seed and I wouldn't be surprised to see them matched up against Kentucky.
