After winning their second conference tournament title in as many years, and their third in four years (and fourth in five years), the Lady Tops now know who they’ll face in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
WKU has garnered an 11 seed and will be heading to Knoxville to face the Oregon State Beavers.
The Lady Toppers have run into a wall when it comes to NCAA tournament success, having not won a tourney contest since the year 2000, when they beat Marquette 68–65 before falling in the second round to Duke by 20.
Despite the recent string of unsuccessful dances, the new trend is excruciatingly close losses. Last year, the Lady Tops fell to Ohio State, 70–63, and dropped a 66–64 game to Texas in 2015.
The Lady Tops also have Tennessee and Liberty in their Knoxville host-site for the first two rounds, and are on the Lexington Regional side of the bracket.
