I’m sure, at some point heading in to Conference USA play, we all figured the Hilltoppers would go onsomesort of losing streak. It’s the first season of a new conference, there are some kinks to work out, yadda yadda yadda. You know, the usual stuff.
However, what may be the mostunexpectedpart of the Tops going on a two game losing streak is who those losses were to. A disappointing home loss to Rice over a week ago and a road loss to a surging Marshall have not only given WKU their first ever losing streak in Conference USA play, but have also made the Tops slip from their pedestal atop the conference into a tie for third place with…son of a gun, the Blazers!
UAB is the surprise team of Conference USA up to this point in the year, but much like the Hilltoppers, the Blazers are on a two game slide as well, getting swept by North Texas and Rice last weekend, but are capable of beating anyone in the conference, as they beat first-place Louisiana Tech by20in Bartow Arena, where the matchup will take place tonight.
The Hilltoppers have the spotlight all to themselves tonight, as the Cardinals are coming off a road loss to Syracuse last night and UK is off until Saturday. Even though we are no longer a “Western Kentucky,” site, you can still head here to Bluegrass Dominion to find all the post game coverage you’ll need.
