Western Kentucky can have all the success it wants during the regular season, but none of it will matter come tournament time.
The Lady Toppers know that all too well. They’ll host the very team that made their stay in last year’s Conference USA tournament a one-day affair.
Despite WKU beating Marshall twice in the regular season last season, it found out winning three straight against the same opponent within a few months is rather difficult.
And even though the Lady Toppers made a historic run through the WNIT, having a shot at an NCAA bid lost at the hands of Marshall still leaves a bad taste in their mouths.
