The Lady Toppers have now made it to the NCAA Tournament four seasons in a row, but have only made it past the first round once in those three tries.
Maybe the fourth time will be the charm, and head coach Travis Hudson and his squad like their chances of taking the next step.
In Friday’s first round of the tournament, the Lady Toppers will travel to Lexington to take on Notre Dame at 4 p.m. CT in Memorial Coliseum. The match will pit the nation’s second-ranked offense in WKU against the Fighting Irish’s 12th-ranked defense.
“That’s the storyline of our first round match-up,” Hudson said.
