The Lady Toppers defeated North Texas, Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss en route to becoming the first C-USA champion to win each of their tournament games by double digits in Birmingham, Ala., last week. Sophomore Sidnee Bopp had a breakout performance, knocking down 12 three-pointers and notching a career-best 18 points against Louisiana Tech.
