The WKU women's basketball team advanced to the Round of 16 the Postseason Women’s National Invitation Tournament on Sunday afternoon, as the Lady Toppers knocked off in-state opponent Morehead State in their second-round contest.
WKU (20-14) returned to Bowling Green and hosted the Eagles (24-11) for a hard-fought game, committing 21 turnovers in the process. MSU dominated the paint 36-22, but the Lady Toppers out-rebounded the Eagles 44-41 and held MSU to only 33 percent shooting from the floor and 14 percent from deep in a 68-65 win in Diddle Arena.
“Well, toughness is not playing dirty, it’s just not going away,” head coach Greg Collins said.
