RUSTON, La. – Louisiana Tech and WKU will meet on the hardwood for the 47th time in the series history when the Lady Techsters host the Lady Toppers Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the Thomas Assembly Center.
The contest can be heard on the LA Tech Sports Network on KNBB 97.7 FM with the pregame show starting at 6 p.m. Fans can also watch a live video stream of the game through a paid subscription to CUSATV.com.
LA Tech leads the all-time series 26-20 although WKU has won seven straight meetings with the Lady Techsters last victory coming during the 2010-11 season. The 46 meetings against WKU is the second most of any LA Tech opponent in Lady Techster history with only the 55 against ULM surpassing it.
WKU and LA Tech were long-time rivals in the American South and Sun Belt Conferences in the 1980s and 1990s when the two programs were annually competing for the league crown and appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
This year's version of the Lady Toppers (14-6, 6-3 C-USA) features a trio of top-notch scorers in forward Raneem Elgedawy (17.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg), guard Dee Givens (16.5 ppg, 43-146 three-pointers) and guard Whitney Creech (14.1 ppg, 88 assists). WKU has won four straight games and six of its last seven contests after staring C-USA with a pair of road losses at North Texas and Rice.
Louisiana Tech (10-10, 2-7 C-USA) has dropped three straight games following an impressive 18-point win over Middle Tennessee on Jan. 23. The guard tandem of Keiunna Walker (12.4 ppg, 35 steals) and Amber Dixon (11.4 ppg, 36 steals) leads the Lady Techsters offensively.
Tech is 9-3 at the Thomas Assembly Center this season.
