CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Four of the final six games of the 2017-18 regular season will be played in the Powell Athletic Center and Lady Tiger basketball starts that streak with Life University on Thursday night.
 
Tipoff of the doubleheader with the Tigers and Running Eagles is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET. The Voice of Tiger Basketball Matt Payton will have the call on the CU Sports Network, 88.7 The Tiger and WLCU-TV, starting at 5:45. Fans can also follow online at www.campbellsvilletigers.com/watch.
 
Campbellsville enters with a three-game winning streak after knocking off conference foes Lindsey Wilson, Cumberland University and Georgetown in the last two weeks. The Lady Tigers have won all three games without leading scorer and 2016-17 First-Team All-Conference performer Madison Clements. She's missed the last few games with an ankle injury but the Lady Tigers haven't missed a beat.
