FRISCO, Texas – Western Kentucky had to fight to earn its way into the title game. The Lady Toppers’ marathon lives for another stretch, and WKU had to withstand a momentum-driven North Texas team to stay the course for a chance to repeat.
WKU is back in the Conference USA title game after wearing down North Texas 77-61 Friday night in the C-USA tournament semifinals. The No. 3 seed Lady Toppers (23-8) will play for their third C-USA tournament title in four years Saturday against top-seeded Alabama-Birmingham at 4:30 p.m. in Frisco, Texas.
“It’s amazing,” junior Sidnee Bopp said.
