The WKU women's basketball team has held double-digit leads late in each of its last two regular season games. Both times the scoreboard was in favor of the Lady Tops when the final buzzer sounded, but the margins of victory were a lot different.
On Thursday night, WKU allowed Southern Miss to turn what was a 15-point deficit in the first half into just a one-point loss.
Saturday was a different story, as Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard’s team protected its ten-point, third-quarter lead and closed out the regular season with a 69-58 win at Louisiana Tech.
“In the locker room I really challenged [the team] to understand that we just have 20 minutes left of our regular season,” Clark-Heard said in a postgame radio interview.
