The Wildcats fell to Western Kentucky on Thursday night in a close 68-64 loss. Despite starting the game with a significant deficit, the team rallied to create tense moments late in the game but could not complete the comeback. The loss drops the Wildcats to 2-4 on the season as they prepare to face Sacramento State on Friday at noon.
