On Saturday, Jan. 20, Diddle Arena hosted a sell-out crowd that played witness to a battle for Conference USA supremacy between WKU’s men’s basketball team and Middle Tennessee State.
WKU next plays host to Marshall on Saturday in a game that, according to WKU’s men’s basketball Twitter, is only 100 tickets away from being another sell out.
This would be the first back-to-back sellout since the 2005-2006 season, in which the team, led by future NBA player Courtney Lee, finished first in the Sun Belt Conference in the regular season.
In spite of the impending budget cuts facing the WKU athletics program, the renewed success of WKU basketball has begun to catch administration’s attention, especially that of athletic director Todd Stewart.
