Two of the top teams in Conference-USA will be coming to Diddle Arena this week to take on the WKU men’s basketball team (10-10).
The Hilltoppers will first welcome the University of Alabama at Birmingham who currently owns a 17-3 overall record and 7-0 in conference play. The Blazers are sitting atop C-USA due in large part to the program returning most of last season’s roster.
UAB is looking even better this year as the Blazers currently hold the nation's longest active win streak at 14 victories. Last year in the first round of the NCAA tournament, the Blazers knocked off the third seeded team in their region as a 14-seed when they defeated Iowa State 60-59.
