Good Luck Toppers!!!

*= Sun Belt Conference game

Side note: Western Kentucky has the potential to play either Virginia Commonwealth or Saint Joseph's twice in the same season because of the Charleston Classic, bring it!!!

I am looking forward to the resurrection of the old VCU/WKU series

It should be very exciting.

hehe I was scrolling down the schedule and I was like man WKU plays a lot of Sun Belt teams, then I was like WKU is IN THE SUN BELT, yeah I felt pretty stupid

That Charleston Classic has a great bunch of teams in it, and I like that road game @ Louisville

That tournament should be fun to be a part of, especially with this awesome recruiting class we got.

I am hoping that the Louisville game will be more competitive than last season, it was embarrassing last season.

Yeah im hoping, that (if we happen to meet St. Mary's) that its much closer than last season's game.

It took forever, but the Western Kentucky Women's Basketball team releases their schedule for 2011 - 2012 in typical Lady Topper fashion, they have a decent non-conference schedule, including a in-season tournament in Birmingham, AL. They are fresh off their 19th Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship appearance. Hoping to make it #20 this season.
