Western Kentucky found it difficult to score against Louisiana Tech’s zone defense. Such has been the case for Conference USA’s top field goal percentage defense. The Lady Techsters force opposing offenses to move the ball around the perimeter and open looks are hard to come by.
The Lady Toppers found that out on Thursday, but did enough to pull out the 67-58 win on Thursday at E.A. Diddle Arena.
WKU went through long stretches where it didn’t score while it worked desperately for open looks.
On the other end, WKU returned the favor by playing its own zone more than it has in one game.
