Last season, newly hired WKU Baseball head coach, John Pawlowski entered media day eager to elevate the baseball program into perennial Conference USA contenders. This season, Pawlowski and the Tops entered media day with a chip on their shoulder.
Fresh off a 24-30 season and missing the conference tournament for a second consecutive season, the Tops will attempt to build on their trying 2016 season.
One goal coach Pawlowski emphasized during media day on Tuesday was the importance of qualifying for the conference tournament. It’s a milestone the program has failed to reach since moving from the Sun Belt to C-USA.
