BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU returned to the practice field on Tuesday as they prepare for Saturday’s opportunity to defend their Conference USA championship when they host West Division champion Louisiana Tech (8-4, 6-2 C-USA) in a re-match from October’s regular season showdown.
The Bulldogs got the best of the Hilltoppers that night in early October, a 55-52 victory in Ruston. For the East Division champion Hilltoppers, Saturday’s championship game, set for an 11 a.m. kick off on ESPN, is an opportunity not only to defend their title but to make up for a loss early in the season.
