The Western Kentucky men’s and women’s basketball teams invited fans to E.A. Diddle Arena on Tuesday to build excitement for the upcoming season.
The Lady Toppers and Hilltoppers were introduced and showcased some skills at the Topper Tipoff – the first preseason event of the kind since the 2019 Hilltopper Hysteria.
“Everybody knows when Diddle Arena’s packed, there’s not a more difficult place to come down and play or a better place to watch a game than Diddle Arena,” WKU men’s basketball head coach Rick Stansbury said. “My challenge is this, and we’re going to do it – if you don’t have your tickets yet, you better get them because real soon, there’s not going to be a ticket left to buy because this is going to be an exciting group of young men to watch, but we can’t do it without you.
