HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Let’s try this again.
After having its scheduled Conference USA opener at Southern Miss on Thursday canceled due to COVID-19 issues in the Golden Eagles’ program, Western Kentucky will now open C-USA play Saturday at 1 p.m. against Louisiana Tech at Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, La.
The Hilltoppers (8-5) were planning on the trip to Hattiesburg to open league play with a game at Reed Green Coliseum, but the game was called off Wednesday shortly before the team was slated to depart. C-USA will explore options to reschedule the game at a later date.
