American college basketball season

The 1960–61 Western Kentucky State Hilltoppers men's basketball team represented Western Kentucky State College (now known as Western Kentucky University) during the 1960-61 NCAA University Division Basketball season. The Hilltoppers were led by future Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Edgar Diddle and finished in a three-way tie for the Ohio Valley Conference championship.[1] No conference tournament was held, so a playoff was scheduled to determine which team would go to the NCAA tournament.[2] Western Kentucky lost in the playoff to Morehead State. Bobby Rascoe, Charlie Osborne, and Harry Todd were named to the All-Conference Team.[3]
