Collins expecting continued development for returning players

The Western Kentucky women's basketball team knew it had plenty of offense coming back for the 2019-20 season, with 86 percent of its scoring returning – a group that included the top five scorers from the season before.

The focus entering the season that ended with a 22-7 overall record and a 14-4 mark in C-USA was on defense and rebounding.

Greg Collins, who recently concluded his second season as the program's head coach, says those are two areas the team needs to continue to develop in, while it will also look to find solutions to "unanswered questions" caused by the departure of seniors Dee Givens, Whitney Creech, Alexis Brewer and Sandra Skinner.
