Last year the Lady Topper basketball team had their season cut short in Birmingham, Alabama.
Even though they received a first round bye as they did last year, the outcomes in their C-USA Tournament opener were polar opposites.
In 2016, Marshall knocked off the Toppers 66-63. This time around, the Toppers tore down the Mean Green of North Texas 78-51.
“I’m really proud of them that we picked it up and were able to get in our flow in the second half, because I think we were a little tight in the beginning but that’s normal and natural," Clark-Heard said.
