<p><strong>Writer: Andy Staples<br />Post time: 6:26 p.m., Saturday</strong> </p><p>TAMPA, Fla. -- Western Kentucky coach <strong>Darrin Horn</strong> couldn't stop reading the congratulatory text messages that rolled in after the Hilltoppers shocked Drake on Friday. With his eyes glued to his phone, the 6-foot-4 Horn didn't notice the low doorway inches from his face.</p><p>Smack!</p><p>The door frame left a deep gash across the bridge of Horn's nose, making him look as if he celebrated the biggest win of his career by telling ultimate fighter <strong>Kimbo Slice</strong> that his mother wears Army boots. After Horn explained his injury Saturday, he immediately regretted telling the truth.</p><p>"I wish I could say I hit it on the rim trying to dunk in practice today," Horn said. "I did <em>try</em> to dunk. I didn't get one down today. No, I just ran into a door."</p>
