Lady Toppers focused ahead of Conference USA tournament

The WKU women’s basketball team woke up on Wednesday morning not knowing who its next opponent would be. But that didn’t matter to them.

The Lady Tops have spent the days leading up to the Conference USA tournament focusing on improving as a team.

“All preseason and practices and summer workouts— this is what we work for so it’s exciting to finally be here,” senior forward Jalyyn McClain said.

Conference tournament success hasn’t been hard to come by since Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard took over at WKU in 2012.

The Lady Tops have brought home two consecutive conference tournament titles, winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title in 2014 before clinching last year’s C-USA title in their first year in the league.
