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 C-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.
