Western Kentucky will take its five-game winning streak to Charlotte to open Conference USA play this weekend.
The Hilltoppers went 7-2 through the nonconference portion of the schedule, and will now travel to Charlotte for 3 p.m. CT games Friday and Saturday at Halton Arena.
“I think we’ve played really good competition to this point,” WKU coach Rick Stansbury said. “I think our team’s been tested a lot of different styles, to Northern Iowa, to Memphis, to West Virginia, to Louisville, to Rhode Island, to Alabama, even Gardner-Webb. All different styles – some spread, some overpower you with size, good guard play – so we’ve had really good competition.
