In the season-opener, the Golden Eagles cut the WKU lead to five twice, but that's as close as they would get in an 82-70 loss on Monday, Nov. 3. Brandon Muntu and Mekhi Cameron led Tech in scoring with 13 points apiece. Jacobe Whitted led the team with seven rebounds (1 off, 6 def) and added seven points.
JaJuan Nicholls scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting from the field, and Ty Owens also added eight points on 3-of-6 from the field with a team-leading five assists.
Off the bench, Dani Pounds contributed in multiple ways, from scoring eight points on 4-of-7 from the field to grabbing four rebounds and providing some needed momentum with this thunderous dunk.
