WKU hosts UTSA ahead of UTEP showdown

A game that might be the biggest of the Conference USA season awaits Saturday.

But before second-place Western Kentucky hosts first-place UTEP this weekend, the Lady Toppers have to take care of some business Thursday night against UTSA.

The Lady Toppers (17-3 overall, 8-1 C-USA) welcome the Roadrunners (7-12, 3-6) to E.A. Diddle Arena for a 7 p.m. tipoff Thursday.

Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said Tuesday she’s confident her WKU squad won’t be looking past UTSA and ahead to its showdown at 2 p.m. Saturday against the Miners (18-1, 9-0).

The Lady Toppers just a lost a game for the first time in nearly two months, falling 83-75 at rival Middle Tennessee.
