Lady Toppers play big against Little Rock, pick up 4th win over 2019 NCAA Tournament team

The WKU women's basketball team (4-1) handled preseason Sun Belt Conference favorite Little Rock (1-5) in a 77-58 home win on Sunday afternoon, as the Lady Toppers picked up their fourth victory over a 2019 NCAA Tournament team this season in Diddle Arena.

The first five teams on the 2019-20 slate for head coach Greg Collins’ squad combined for a 129-38 record in 2018-19 and each made the NCAA Tournament a year ago, but the Lady Toppers have won four out of five, dropping only a 75-56 loss at No. 9 Louisville.

WKU had an outstanding game from the field, shooting 54% overall, 46% from behind the arc and 82% from the free-throw line.
