Tops are all for one, and one for all under Lutz

Dec. 28—Thirteen games into the Steve Lutz era of Western Kentucky basketball, the streaking Hilltoppers have won 10 times, and, considering WKU struggled to a 17-16 record in its seventh and final season under Rick Stansbury in 2022-23, this is not insignificant.

But it's not just that the Hilltoppers are winning under Lutz, it's how they're winning — and this is the part that bodes brightest for a program looking to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Ray Harper directed them there in 2013.
