WKU hires Texas A&M-CC's Steve Lutz to coach Hilltoppers | |
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) Western Kentucky hired Steve Lutz as the Hilltoppers' coach on Saturday, quickly completing a national search a week after Rick Stansbury stepped down. Lutz guided Texas A&M-Corpus Christi past Southeast Missouri State 75-71 on Tuesday for its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory - a First Four matchup of No. 16 seeds. The Islanders then fell 96-75 to overall No. 1 seed Alabama on Thursday. Lutz is 47-23 lifetime after two seasons at TAMUCC, including going 24-11 this year. His teams saw automatic NCAA Tournament berths after twice winning the Southland Conference Tournament championship. MORE | |
