Michelle Clark-Heard makes it a point to drive home the idea of putting her Western Kentucky women’s basketball team in position game-by-game to play for something bigger.
When the Lady Toppers tip off Thursday night at Southern Mississippi, they’ll have a chance to lay claim to at least a share of another regular-season championship.
Western Kentucky (21-6 overall, 12-2 Conference USA) starts the last leg of the regular season Thursday in Hattiesburg, Miss., against the Golden Eagles (14-13, 6-8) at 6 p.m. at the Reed Green Coliseum. With a win, WKU can claim at least a share of the regular-season title with Alabama-Birmingham.
