Prior to Thursday, the WKU women’s basketball team had not lost a game since Dec. 19.
The Lady Toppers were winners of six straight and also possessed an active streak of 22 consecutive wins in Conference USA home games that dated back to Feb. 25, 2016.
Wins over Southern Mississippi (11- 10, 3-5 C-USA) and Louisiana Tech (10-11, 2-6 C-USA), the ninth and 10th-place teams in league standings respectively, seemed almost inevitable.
In a word, the Lady Toppers (12-9, 6-1 C-USA) were comfortable.
“I think that was part of the reason we lost on Thursday,” head coach Greg Collins said.
