The Western Kentucky women's basketball team kept rolling last weekend in Miami and will now take its perfect record in Conference USA play to The Lone Star State.
The Lady Toppers have started 3-0 in C-USA play, are on a five-game winning streak and have won nine of their last 10 games leading into Thursday's 7 p.m. game against Rice at Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston.
"Confidence is high, but being tenacious and being persistent is probably even more important than confidence, because if the confidence is founded on playing perfectly, that's not where we are, but the confidence really just comes from grit and really just on playing hard and playing through mistakes," WKU coach Greg Collins said.
