At the 2017 WKU basketball media day, the players and head coach Rick Stansbury made one thing clear: this year’s team is striving for a Conference USA Championship.
The team was ranked sixth in Conference USA’s preseason poll, but the Hilltoppers are striving to be at the top of the conference when it’s all said and done.
“I say this all the time, if it’s not a championship effort, it’s not good enough,” Stansbury said. “We won’t let any type of things that’s happened be a distraction. Won’t be a reason for us not to compete for a championship.
