The Hilltoppers (5-2) are slated to take on the University of Alabama (4-2) this Saturday at 1 p.m. WKU currently rides a three-game winning streak going into Tuscaloosa.
“We wanted a good opportunity to play a good quality team on a big stage,” head coach Rick Stansbury said. “I think it’s a good quality game for both programs.”
WKU has not played Alabama in three decades, the third all-time. The Crimson Tide took the first two games.
Alabama most recently won at home Tuesday against Furman 83-80 after being down 10 at halftime. Junior James Rojas came off the bench for the Crimson Tide and scored 11 points while grabbing seven rebounds.
