FRISCO, Texas — No. 25 Middle Tennessee women's basketball won the 2023 Conference USA Tournament on Saturday evening in the Ford Center at The Star, doubling up Western Kentucky in the second quarter to push pass the Hilltoppers, 82-70.
Tied at the end of the first quarter, the Lady Raiders (28-4) quickly adjusted, slowing the transition game of the Lady Toppers (19-13) and exploiting the holes in WKU's havoc defense, shooting a scorching 10-for-14 from the field in the quarter, including a 4-for-7 clip from beyond the arc, to score 32 points in the second quarter.
