Hilltoppers!

The up-and-down Toppers were up today. They knocked off Louisiana-Lafayette 81-76 to advance to the semi-finals of the Sun Belt Tournament for the seventh year in a row. Next up for the Toppers is North Texas. Like Western, the Mean Green went only 8-8 in conference play, but they stunned Florida Atlantic (who went 13-3 in conference play) with a 51-point second half and a 78-64 victory. I would not even attempt to predict what will happen next.

    WKYU-PBS will be airing both this game tonight and the Lady Toppers' Sun Belt noon semifinal today. I'm so happy for the women's head coach, Mary Taylor-Cowles, and assistant, David Graves. Coach Taylor-Cowles went to Marshall County High and WKU, and Coach Graves went to Allen County-Scottsville and WKU.

    3:38 to go in the Lady Tops' semifinal with Arkansas State, and the College Heights Herald reports that WKU leads by three.

    ASU misses front end of one-and-one after what Herald says was a jive call (I'm paraphrasing). Now Lady Tops are headed to line for one-and-one with 1:08 to go. Lady Indians timeout.

    Another WKU miss, but then an Arkansas State air ball.

    Sounds like a pretty game.

    Mary took out of the game the woman who just missed two front ends.

    From my favorite message board, the Hilltopper Haven. Last night, after Western's men advanced to the Sun Belt semi-finals, a poster named "forestertopper" put up the following message:

    "Give it a rest doom sayers!

    "I for one was excited for the win tonight and the opportunity to live on for another day. Especially for the seniors. However, I was reminded by this site how negative it can be. Instead of being happy we have advanced, you talk about a play in game that we will get crushed by some #1 seed. Whatever happens after the season - happens. Right now get behind the Toppers and give it a rest."
