The WKU women's basketball team (19-6, 11-3 C-USA) claimed its ninth straight victory in Conference USA play on Thursday night, as the Lady Toppers led for 31:20 of clock time during a 79-65 home win against Marshall (11-14, 6-8 C-USA) in Diddle Arena.
Prior to Thursday’s game, WKU had won 12 straight home games, which tied as the 11th longest streak in the nation. The Lady Toppers were also one of 13 NCAA Division I teams that were perfect at home this season, and WKU kept its hot streak alive against Marshall.
The Lady Toppers are now 11-0 in games played on John Oldham Court this season, but head coach Greg Collins said he was more worried about the sluggish and lackluster defensive performance his team showed early on against the Thundering Herd.
