Heard excited for Saturday’s title game
March 14, 2014
NEW ORLEANS — The Lady Toppers’ last loss came against Arkansas-Little Rock on Feb. 8. Since then, they’ve racked up nine straight victories, including a 66-62 win over the Lady Trojans on Friday afternoon to solidify WKU’s 20th Sun Belt Conference Tournament Championship game appearance.
No. 2-seed WKU (23-8) is slated to face off against No. 1-seed Arkansas State at 8 p.m. on Saturday in Lakefront Arena.
“You can’t win a championship if you don’t get to the championship game,” Heard said. “And that’s our whole goal is to get there and be prepared and ready to just go to battle.
“I know our girls are excited. I know I’m excited as a coach. We’ll just be ready to go.”
