Friday’s blowout loss to Oregon State University in the first round of the NCAA tournament reiterated a common theme for the WKU women’s basketball team. While the Lady Toppers continue to have success in Conference USA, an NCAA Tournament win continues to elude them.
Under head coach Michelle Clark-Heard, the Lady Toppers have made four out of the last six NCAA Tournaments, but each time they have failed to win a game and advance on the big stage. WKU is still waiting for its first tournament win since 2000, when the Lady Toppers defeated Marquette University, 68-65.
It’s not as if the Lady Toppers are facing competition they cannot beat.
