After a blowout loss at Rice a couple weeks ago, the Lady Toppers needed a different mentality. The answer was simple: defensive intensity.
WKU women's basketball head coach Michelle Clark-Heard wanted to emphasize that defense should be the forefront of her team’s focus, regardless of if they’re lighting up the scoreboard.
“We were focusing on defense and rebounding,” Clark-Heard said after Saturday’s win over Marshall University. “That’s something we have to make sure we continue to do because that’s the type of team we are.”
“I think we went back to the drawing board and just really focused back on defense,” junior guard Dee Givens said.
