Around SBN: 2012 NBA All-Star Game Starters Announced

McDonald to WKU

Texas assistant Ken McDonald will be named the head coach at Western Kentucky at a news conference Sunday.

The announcement will be at 3 p.m. ET in Bowling Green, Ky. to introduce McDonald, who has worked under Rick Barnes with the Longhorns since 2004.

McDonald had been an assistant at Western Kentucky under Dennis Felton from 1998-2003. McDonald was with Felton when the Hilltoppers went to three straight NCAA tournaments and were 100-54 during McDonald's five seasons with the program.

McDonald had been an assistant under Barnes at Clemson for four years prior to going to Western Kentucky in 1998.

McDonald replaces Darrin Horn, who left to take the head coaching job at South Carolina last week. Horn led the Hilltoppers to the Sweet 16, beating Drake 101-99 in the tournament's most thrilling game on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Ty Rogers in overtime.

Western Kentucky then went on to beat San Diego in the second round before losing to UCLA in the Sweet 16.
