WKU schedule gets tougher with long-distance travel

When the WKU women’s basketball team team finishes its stretch of five games in eight days, the Lady Toppers will have traveled about 4,950 miles.

In the Lady Toppers’ first three contests of the regular season, the team faced a Power 5 opponent on the road (Oklahoma) and welcomed two top 15 opponents to Diddle Arena (No. 5 Louisville, No. 13 Iowa).

After a start against national powerhouses, WKU now has a tumultuous stretch of games that will feature a matchup against No. 9 Oregon State as well as a potential matchup against No. 13 South Carolina.
