We’re currently at 163 Complete Games and 13 Partial Games ranging from 2020 to 1938. Each game is listed chronologically from 2020 to 1938 with the link embedded into the date.
This is meant to be a living document that will be updated periodically. If you find a game that we don’t have please share and we’ll add to the list
Youtube is notorious for taking down videos. If one of our links doesn’t work please let us know and we’ll remove from the list
We’ll have this listed on our tabs at the top of our page for easy access in the future and post each update at the top of the archive
We also have Men’s Basketball & Lady Tops Basketball available (click on links)
Thanks again to WKU Alum Jeff Schreiner who created Hilltopper Vault and has posted 85% of the games on this list. It’s great to connect WKU’s history with today’s fans.
