Hilltoppers!

Confounding our predictions, the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers -- who were 0-4 in the Sun Belt just a few weeks ago -- swept the two Floridas on the road. On Thursday night, Western beat the Florida International Golden Panthers 81-78, and tonight the Hilltoppers upset the Florida Atlantic Owls 57-53 -- handing the Owls their first Sun Belt loss of the year. Now the Hilltoppers are 4-4 in the Belt and they have their next five games at home. There's even a smidgen of optimism on the Hilltopper Haven. It's great to see Western fighting back.
