BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- WKU is set to open its 2016-17 regular season campaign against Alabama A&M inside Diddle Arena on Friday evening at 7:00 p.m. The Lady Toppers and Lady Bulldogs have met just once, a 96-44 WKU win in 2014-15.
Under Michelle Clark-Heard, the Lady Toppers are a perfect 4-0 in home openers and are 3-1 in season openers overall. In last season's home opener, WKU pulled a 71-69 upset against then-No. 16 Louisville on Nov. 21 as then-freshman Kayla Smith sank the go-ahead basket with just over 30 seconds remaining.
