 | "As seniors, we have to really take it upon ourselves to get the guys ready to go out and play. We just have to worry about getting better each and every day, and don't worry about the win and loss column." Senior Guard Trency Jackson |
Gearhart's layup with 2:01 left to play gave the Owls (7-15, 4-6 C-USA) the lead, 66-65, and he pushed it to a three-point lead with a layup off a feed by Marcus Jackson with 1:22 remaining. Gearhart's two free throws with :22 left made it a five-point game and, following Trency Jackson's 3-pointer with :05 to play, Gearhart added two more free throws for the final margin.
The Owls shot 59.5 percent from the field, knocking down 25 of 42 shots, including 7 of 17 from distance.
The loss was just the third at home for WKU (16-7, 9-2), who is now tied with LA Tech and UAB atop the conference standings.
Jackson finished with 23 points to lead the Hilltoppers.
