WKU has gathered a lot of momentum early in the season, as the Hilltoppers have beaten a ranked Purdue team and a highly-touted Southern Methodist team just six games into the season.
After hitting an extreme high this early, the Hilltoppers are trying to avoid having an up-and-down year.
“Coach always says ‘peaks and valleys,'" senior forward Justin Johnson said. "You can’t get high and you can’t get too low. If you’re going to be really successful you have to kind of flat-line.”
The Hilltoppers don't have a shortage of tough opponents on their schedule. Their strength of schedule is ranked sixth in the nation by Ken Pomeroy, with opponents like Wisconsin, Ohio and Belmont still remaining in non-conference play.
