Hilltoppers focused on Thursday battle with UAB

That’s been the message this week from Western Kentucky as it gets set to play at E.A. Diddle Arena for the first time in 2018.

A showdown looms Saturday for the Hilltoppers (13-5 overall, 5-0 Conference USA) with rival Middle Tennessee (13-4, 5-0). WKU has already announced that Diddle Arena will be sold out for that contest.

But the team visiting the Toppers’ home floor first is no slouch either. WKU will host fellow C-USA contender Alabama-Birmingham (13-5, 4-1) at 8 p.m. Thursday in a game broadcast by CBS Sports Network.

Saturday’s matchup with MTSU – the two-time defending C-USA Tournament champion – of course pops on paper.
