M. Basketball. WKU Welcomes Rival Blue Raiders to Diddle Arena for First Time in Three Seasons

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — One of the longest-running rivalries in college basketball picks back up Saturday night at 7:00 (CT) at E.A. Diddle Arena as the Hilltoppers and Blue Raiders meet for the 131st time dating back to 1914-15.

WKU leads the all-time series between the two schools 92-38, but Middle Tennessee has won three-straight matchups and eight of the last nine overall in the series. Saturday’s game is the first in Bowling Green between the two schools separated by just 100 miles since the 2012-13 season, when both were members of the Sun Belt Conference.
