Within Western Kentucky’s goal of closing out the regular season strong is a milestone only a handful of women’s basketball teams have achieved.
The Lady Toppers’ fight for a first-round bye in the upcoming Conference USA Tournament carries over to North Texas on Saturday in the final road game of the regular season.
Should WKU leave Denton, Texas, victorious, it’ll mark the 1,000th win in the 57th season of women’s basketball at WKU. Only 10 other programs in NCAA Division I history have reached the 1,000-win total.
That feat only comes if the Lady Toppers can carry over momentum from last Saturday’s victory at Marshall and avenge a loss in the first meeting with the Mean Green at E.
