Lady Toppers excelling in 'tough' conference

The WKU women’s basketball team is playing nearly perfect basketball at the perfect time.

The Lady Toppers (14-5 overall, 6-1 Conference USA) have won four straight games, including nine out of their last 10, and recently closed out their longest homestand of league play, which included three contests.

On Saturday afternoon, WKU welcomed a Marshall club into Diddle Arena looking to get revenge on the Thundering Herd, who caused an upset in the C-USA tournament quarterfinals last March with a 66-63 win. The Lady Tops were able to do just that, defeating the club from Huntington, West Virginia, 73-57.
