But the Hilltoppers have to do their part first, and that means beating North Texas.
WKU (7-3 overall, 5-1 Conference USA) sits atop the C-USA East Division with two games left, including Saturday’s Senior Day matchup with the Mean Green (2:30 p.m., ESPN3, Houchens-Smith Stadium).
The Toppers will clinch the East Division on Saturday if they beat UNT (4-5, 2-3) and then Southern Miss notches a road win at the second-place team in the East, Old Dominion (6-3, 4-1). That game is also set to kick at 2:30.
Coach Jeff Brohm was asked Thursday if he’ll do some scoreboard watching once the Toppers’ game ends.
