The Hilltoppers also played in the 1994 and 1995 NCAA Tournaments. Crean was an assistant coach at WKU during the first three seasons of Horn's career.
After averaging a career-best 12.9 points and shooting 44.2% (46-104) from three-point range as a senior (1994-95), Horn was named to the All-Sun Belt Conference Team. He also was a member of the GTE Academic All-America Third Team.
