WKU Video Archives: Full Game Men’s Basketball Library
Relive your favorite games in Western Kentucky men's basketball history.
The past few weeks (Coronavirus pandemic) have freed up a lot of time that would normally be committed to watching sports. With that free time, I have had a chance to compile every complete WKU game on the internet.
*New Additions.
12/20/24- 2024 Seattle Full Game Added
12/16/24- 2024 Tennessee State & Murray State Full Games Added
12/9/24- 2024 Evansville Full Game Added
12/2/24- 2024 Kentucky & Marshall Full Games Added
Some Notes to help you navigate the database:
We’re currently at 302 Complete Games and 12 Partial Games ranging from 2024 to 1966 . Each game is listed chronologically from 2024 to 1966 with the link embedded into the date.
This is meant to be a living document that will be updated periodically. If you find a game that we don’t have, please share and we’ll add to the list.
Youtube is notorious for taking down videos. If one of our links doesn’t work, please let us know and we’ll remove from the list.
We’ll have this listed on our tabs at the top of our page for easy access in the future and post each update at the top of the archive.
We have already compiled the football archive and will expand to Lady Tops Basketball, and other sports and eventually move to highlights as well. Stay tuned!
Thanks again to Hilltopper Vault & new Youtuber Jake Gibson who have posted 75% of the games on this list. It’s great to connect WKU’s history with today’s fans.
Here is our archive of full WKU Men’s Basketball games found on Youtube & Vimeo:
