The WKU women’s basketball team found itself in an unfamiliar situation when it trailed UT Martin (22-9, 14-2 Ohio Valley Conference) 33-24 at halftime of Monday’s WNIT second round game in Diddle Arena.
WKU held a 13-9 lead after one quarter of play, and then the Skyhawks went off from distance. UT Martin hit five of its seven second–quarter three-point attempts—compared to WKU’s 0-7 start from deep—which helped them build a 28-15 lead midway through the second quarter.
“We knew they weren’t second in the country in threes for no reason,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said. “We were going to have to make sure we made some adjustments and I was really proud of our group coming out of the locker room.
