The WKU women's basketball team ended its season as the latest victim of No. 24 Rice’s undefeated run against C-USA teams this year, becoming the Owls’ 20th straight win overall in the semifinals of the Conference USA Tournament on Friday evening.
(4) WKU went 5-for-11 from downtown in the first half, gaining as much as a 10-point advantage over (1) Rice. But after a 1-for-10 performance from behind the line in the second half, the Lady Toppers simply could not keep pace with the Owls. All meaningful statistics were close, but WKU fell short in a 64-57 loss in the Ford Center at The Star.
