The 1971–72 Western Kentucky Hilltoppers men's basketball team represented Western Kentucky University during the 1971-72 NCAA University Division Basketball season. The Hilltoppers were led by new coach Jim Richards and All-Ohio Valley Conference player Jerry Dunn.[1] WKU finished in a three-way tie for the OVC championship. No conference tournament was held, so a playoff was scheduled to determine which team would go on to the NCAA tournament.[2] The Hilltoppers lost in the playoff to Morehead State.[3]

gollark: Clearly, things weren't random enough when you tried.

gollark: I ran it through valgrind, but that just complains about the standard library doing evil things in some other bits of the code, and seems to suggest mine is fine.

gollark: On the plus side, this is several hundred times faster.

gollark: My Nim code is binding to a C library, and I can't help but fear that it (my binding code, that is, the C library is fuzzed and whatever) is leaking memory horribly or invoking undefined behavior or something.
