The Panthers were eliminated in the first round of the Sun Belt Conference tournament on March 3 in Hot Springs, Ark. Kahlil McDonald scored 11 of his 19 points in the second half to pace Western Kentucky to a 67-63 victory. The loss ended the Panthers’ season.

Isiah Thomas applied a motto that the Panthers implemented from the beginning of the season-defense would lead to their offense.

WKU (17-2, 7-1 SBC) absolutely clobbered FIU en route to a 3-0 win (25-19, 25-10, 25-13) and the Panthers dropped their second match of the weekend on Oct. 16 to the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders (11-9, 8-1 SBC), losing in three straight sets (25-23, 25-21, 25-16)
Volleyball has already reached the mid-point of the season. Dreams of becoming a champion are either coming to fruition or are fizzling out. The Golden Panthers are at a fork in the road and it is time to choose the correct path.
It appeared as if the dark clouds that hung over the Panther volleyball team two weeks ago after losses to Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky had vanished, blown away by a dominant sweep of FAU on Oct.7. Then came Monday.
