“This is a great slate for the guys this year,” said King. “We showed throughout the second half of the year that we can really compete. I’m excited about competing against a handful of Power 5 programs throughout the year.”
The Hilltoppers will open their season in Ruston, Louisiana as they compete in the Argent Financial Classic. This WKU’s first time traveling to Louisiana Tech since the 2021 season. Following this, the squad travels to Purdue to compete in the Purdue Fall Invitational for the second straight year.
