The Hilltoppers want E.A. Diddle Arena looking a little different for Thursday’s 8 p.m. game against Louisiana Tech, a night being promoted as a blackout.
Hollingsworth and the Hilltoppers (14-8, 7-3 C-USA) will wear black uniforms for the late start against a Bulldogs team tied for first in the C-USA standings. Louisiana Tech (17-5, 8-2) lost its second conference game on Jan. 18 to North Texas on a last-second shot. Since that point the Bulldogs are on a four-game winning streak as the league’s best defensive team while owning a lethal 3-point shooting game.
A win would move the Hilltoppers back into a tie for first in the conference while owning the tiebreaker over UNT and Louisiana Tech.
