WKU will close out its season-opening homestand at 2 p.m. on Saturday afternoon as it welcomes No. 23/RV Indiana to E.A. Diddle Arena. The Lady Toppers lead the all-time series against the Hoosiers 4-2, but the sides have not met since an 85-70 Indiana win on Nov. 17, 2001. In the most recent visit to Diddle from a ranked team, WKU upset then-No. 16 Louisville, 71-69, on Nov. 21, 2015. Saturday will mark just the fifth time that WKU has met a ranked op-ponent in the Clark-Heard era. Saturday also features as the 34th Annual BB&T Classic matchup for the Lady Toppers, who own an 18-6 record in the event since it was shortened to one game in 1992-93 and a 33-8 record overall. Tyra Buss (16.3), Alexis Gassion (15.3) and Amanda Cahill (13.7) lead the Hoosiers in scoring this season, and Cahill also paces the team on the glass with 8.0 rebounds per contest. Following Saturday’s matchup, WKU will go on the road for the first time this season at the 2016 Gulf Coast Showcase. The Lady Toppers are guaranteed three games, including the opener against DePaul, in a field of eight teams that includes five NCAA Tournament partici-pants from last season.

GAME NOTES

NEW FACES, SAME GOAL WKU will mix seven new faces with eight returners in 2016-17, including four freshmen and three transfers. Jaycee Coe will be eligible to play after sitting out last season, while Kyvin Goodin-Rogers will be eligible following the fall semester. Naomi Mayes will also be able to contrib-ute immediately for the Lady Toppers as a junior college transfer. Malaka Frank, Whitney Creech, Sarah Price and Raneem Elgedawy make up the incoming freshman class for WKU and will be called upon immediately to bolster the roster.

MR. 1000 WKU play-by-play announcer Barry Williams called his 1,000th game with the Lady Toppers last Friday evening against Alabama A&M. Williams stands as one of the most veteran radio broadcasters in the nation and calls all home and away games for the Lady Toppers.

KEEPING THE STREAK(S) GOING WKU has won 20 or more games in each of the last four seasons, the first time that the Lady Toppers have had such a streak since 2004-05 to 2007-08. WKU has also posted three consecu-tive seasons with a winning streak of 10 or more games. In 2013-14, the Lady Toppers strung together 10 straight wins from Feb. 12 through March 22; in 2014-15, WKU had two separate streaks of 14 and 12 games; and in 2015-16, WKU won 14 consecutive games from Dec. 5-Jan. 28. The Lady Toppers are one of just nine programs in the nation with a 10-game winning streak in each of the last three seasons, joining perennial title contend-ers such as UConn, Maryland, Notre Dame and Baylor.

CLARK-HEARD SECOND FASTEST TO 100 WKU WINS Michelle Clark-Heard captured her 100th victory as the head coach of the Lady Toppers in a 69-58 victory at Louisi-ana Tech on March 5 last season, reaching the milestone in just her 130th game at the helm of the program. Only the legendary Paul Sanderford, WKU’s all-time winningest coach, reached the mark more quickly, doing so in his 127th game with the team. By winning her 100th game, Clark-Heard also became just the 18th head coach in NCAA history to win 100 games in their first four years at the Division I level.

WKU PICKED TO WIN C-USA IN PRESEASON COACHES’ POLL After returning the Player and Defen-sive Player of the Year in Kendall Noble, as well as the team’s top six scorers from a season ago, WKU was picked to win C-USA in the annual preseason coaches’ poll, garnering six first-place votes to edge out Middle Tennessee’s five votes and Old Dominion’s two votes.

WKU LEADING THE WAY AS ELITE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PROGRAM IN THE REGION

ENTERING 2016-17 SEASON

Western Kentucky University has separted itself as the premier women's basketball program in the region. Among four area powers, WKU leads in all-time wins, Sweet 16 appearances, Final Four appearances and all-time postseason wins.

UAB WKU leads 15-4 Won 64-55 on Feb. 27, 2016UTEP UTEP leads 2-1 Lost 85-78 on Feb. 6, 2016UTSA Series tied 1-1 Won 72-65 on Feb. 4, 2016

NOBLE NAMED PRESEASON C-USA PLAYER OF THE YEAR Redshirt senior Kendall Noble was tabbed by C-USA coaches as the Pre-season C-USA Player of the Year for 2016-17. Noble’s selection marks the third time in Michelle Clark-Heard’s five sea-sons with the program that the Lady Top-pers have had the preseason conference player of the year. Former WKU All-Americans Chastity Gooch (Sun Belt, 2013-14) and Alexis Go-van (C-USA, 2014-15) were the previous preseason players of the year under Clark-Heard’s watch.

THAT 80S SHOW WKU broke the 80-point barrier eight times in 2015-16 and have scored 80 or more points on at least seven occasions per season since Michelle Clark-Heard as-sumed control of the program in 2012-13. By winning all eight of the contests in which it hit 80 points last season, WKU also extended an impressive streak under Clark-Heard. The Lady Toppers have post-ed an undefeated 40-0 mark when scor-ing 80 or more since the 2012-13 season.

DEFENDING DIDDLE WKU finished the 2015-16 season with a 14-1 mark at home and has posted a 50-11 record inside the friendly confines of its home arena since Michelle Clark-Heard took over the program in 2012-13. The Lady Toppers had a 15-game home winning streak prior to falling against UTEP on Feb. 6 last season, a mark that was the ninth-longest streak in the nation at the time.

HEADING TO FLORIDA FOR THANKSGIVING WKU will be one of eight teams com-peting in the 2016 Gulf Coast Showcase in Estero, Fla., from Nov. 24-26. The Lady Toppers will open the tour-nament against DePaul, who ranks No. 21 in both the preseason Associated Press and USA Today polls. The Blue Demons reached the Sweet 16 last season before falling to Oregon State. Following the matchup against De-Paul, WKU will face either Baylor or Kent State. The Lady Toppers share a bit of his-tory with the Bears after pushing them to the brink as a No. 15 seed in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in 2014 before falling, 87-74. Also competing in the tournament are 2016 national runner-up Syracuse and NCAA Tournament participants from a year ago in Ohio State and George Wash-ington.

WKU IN IN-SEASON TOURNAMENTS UNDER CLARK-HEARD Under Michelle Clark-Heard, the Lady Toppers have posted an 11-1 record in in-season tournaments and have claimed the championship in four of the five tour-naments in which they have competed. Last season, WKU powered past George Mason and host Alaska-Anchor-age to capture the 2015 GCI Great Alaska Shootout. In previous seasons under Clark-Heard, the Lady Toppers have won the Wright State Invitational (2012-13), the Puerto Rico Classic (2013-14) and the Hof-stra Thanksgiving Tournament (2014-15). WKU also reached the final of the 2014-15 Preseason WNIT before falling at Missis-sippi State.

TOUGH UNDER PRESSURE Since Clark-Heard took over the pro-gram, the Lady Toppers have played 24 contests that have been decided by three or fewer points. In such games, WKU has posted a 17-7 record, including four vic-tories last season over Louisville, FIU, Rice, Southern Miss and Saint Louis. In the same vein, the Lady Toppers have been very tough closers down the stretch as well, recording a 93-9 record when leading or tied with five minutes remaining in games since 2012-13.

APPROACHING THE 1,000-POINT CLUB

Junior Tashia Brown and redshirt senior Micah Jones are seeking to become the 37th and 38th members of WKU’s 1,000-point club during the 2016-17 season. Redshirt senior Kendall Noble became the 36th member of the club during her Player of the Year campaign last season.

GAME NOTES

TRIO OF NEW SIGNEES WKU has inked three players as part of its Class of 2021, signing Nichel Tampa, Terri Smith and Sherry Porter to NLIs. All three players are dynamic guards who are capable of both scoring and directing the offense as floor generals. Clark-Heard has praised the trio’s versatility and ability to play multiple spots on the floor as well as their competitive nature coming from winning high school programs. One of the top-ranked point guards in her class, Tampa has led St. Francis to consecutive Class A private school state championships as a sophomore and ju-nior in 2015 and 2016. Overall, she led her team to an impressive 84-9 record since the 2013-14 season. In her junior season, Tampa averaged nine points and 4.8 as-sists per game playing for the Knights un-der Head Coach Aisha Kennedy. A highly decorated guard under Head Coach Patrick Delay, Smith earned an honorable mention nod as a sopho-more on the All Tennessee Valley girls’ basketball team before receiving Third Team All-Huntsville Region honors as a junior last season, averaging 12.5 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Over the last two seasons with the Chargers, Porter has helped the team to a combined 53-14 record and back-to-back regional appearances in the LHSAA State Tournament, the first coming at the 1A level before Madison Prep made the leap to 2A last season. Porter captured Second Team 1A All-State honors as a sophomore following a season that saw her average 21 points, 3.5 steals and three rebounds.

LOCKDOWN DEFENSE WKU held Alabama A&M to just 32 points in the season opener, the fewest points scored by a WKU opponent since UTRGV scored 32 on Jan. 15, 1998. The Lady Toppers also held the Lady Bulldogs to 13-of-52 (25 percent) shoot-ing from the field on the evening.

CLIMBING THE THREE-POINT CHARTS Already ninth in school history with 143 three-pointers, Micah Jones needs just two more to pass Dawn Warner (1993-96) for eighth. Renee Westmore-land (1990-93) would be up next on the list with 164 career shots from deep.

WKU FROM DEEP The Lady Toppers had one of the finest three-point shooting outings in program history against Alabama A&M, matching the program record with 13 shots from beyond the arc. WKU had pre-viously hit that mark two times: vs. Lamar on Jan. 20, 1996, and vs. Middle Tennes-see on March 11, 2003. Individually, Jaycee Coe made her presence felt by knocking down four three-pointers in her debut for WKU.

HARD CLOSERS After shooting just 13-of-38 (.342) from the field in the first half, WKU went 19-of-27 (.704) in the second half and 11-of-13 (.846) in the fourth quarter alone to cement the rout. The 84.6 percent shooting in the fourth quarter was WKU’s best in a single quarter since the system was implement-ed last season.

ALONE IN TRIPLE-DOUBLES Redshirt senior Kendall Noble cur-rently sits as the only active Division I player with a triple-double in her career after recording two last season.

GETTING A STEAL With six steals through two games this season, Noble has collected 280 take-aways for her career. The Hazard, Ky., na-tive is just six steals shy of setting a new WKU program record and appears set to surpass Lady Topper legend Clemette Haskins at the top of the chart.

COACH HEARD IN BB&T CLASSIC GAMES Now in her fifth season with the pro-gram, Michelle Clark-Heard owns a 3-1 record in games featured as the BB&T Classic and has won each of the last two matchups.

STRONG AFTER LOSSES WKU will look to bounce back from its loss to UT Arlington and has a strong track record of doing so under Michelle Clark-Heard. In games immediately following a loss since 2012-13, the Lady Toppers are 26-6 and have not suffered consecutive losses since Nov. 23 and 25, 2014 (at Mis-sissippi State and Louisville).

Fifth Season

also saw WKU defeat Georgetown in the Puerto Rico Classic after facing a 16-point deficit in the second half.

The season was capped by a 87-74 loss to fifth-ranked Baylor in Waco, Texas in the opening round of the 2014 NCAA Tournament, ending the longest NCAA Tournament appearance drought in program history.

The run to the tournament helped WKU secure a 24-9 re-cord and finish with 20-wins for the second straight season. Her consecutive 20-win seasons to begin her time at WKU marked the first time in Sun Belt Conference history that a team had won 20 games in back-to-back years following a season in which it had won less than 10 games.

Her success in 2013-14 followed a massive improvement on the floor in 2012-13.

In her first year as a Division One coach in 2012-13, Clark-Heard helped WKU to a 13-win improvement over the 2011-12 season output. It was the largest in Sun Belt Conference history as WKU turned a 9-21 mark into a 22-11 record. WKU’s eight win improvement in conference play from five wins to 13 wins was tied for the largest in league history. The Lady Toppers also became the first team in Sun Belt Conference history to win 20 games in the season following a year in which the team won less than 10 games earlier this season.

Her first season at WKU also showcased her ability to de-velop players. The duo of Chastity Gooch and Alexis Govan averaged a combined 12.7 ppg in 2011-12 but posted 36.5 per outing in 2012-13. The duo combined for 1,203 points after posting 381 last season. The team also saw major improvement in nearly all statistical categories, including improving free throw shooting by over 11 percent to .739, the third highest mark in school history.

Clark-Heard spent five years as an assistant coach to Jeff Walz at Louisville. During her time with the program, the Cardinals made three Sweet 16 appearances and made their first Final Four appearance, finishing as the National Runner-Up in 2009. A roster she helped build also reached the Final Four in 2013 after beating No. 1 Baylor and national power Tennessee in the regional semifinals and finals. Clark-Heard was instrumental in bringing in the No. 12 recruiting class in 2008, then followed with three consecutive Top 10 classes in 2009, 2010 and 2011. The 2010 recruiting class was the highest ranked class in school history, ranked fifth in the nation.

Among the most notable players Clark-Heard coached at Louisville was overall number one pick in the 2009 WNBA Draft, Angel McCoughtry and overall number eight pick in the 2013 WNBA Draft, Shoni Shimmel. Overall, she coached five players at Louisville that went on to be drafted in the WNBA Draft.

Prior to her time at Louisville, Clark-Heard spent two sea-sons as the head coach at Kentucky State, taking the reigns of the program in June 2005. She took over a program that had won just one game during the 2004-05 season. In her first season she led the Thorobrettes to a 5-23 record, four of the wins were against Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference opponents. Her team was picked to finish 11th

Michelle Clark-Heard has quickly shaped the Western Kentucky University Lady Topper Basketball program back into a national name, putting the Lady Toppers back on the national map. In just three seasons at WKU as head coach, Clark-Heard has reached two NCAA Tournaments, won two conference tournament championships and a regular season conference title while posting 76 wins, the most in a coaches first three seasons in WKU women’s basketball or men’s basketball history.

Clark-Heard’s third season directing her alma mater in 2014-15 was one of the best the storied program has seen. She led the Lady Toppers to a 30-5 record, posting a Con-ference USA record 30 wins in the program’s first season as a league member.

The season began with the Lady Toppers making huge waves early by reaching the finals of the Preseason Wom-en’s NIT with wins at Colorado and over eventual American East Conference champion Albany before a loss on the road at Mississippi State. WKU also posted non-conference wins over Hofstra, Tulane and Ole Miss.

The Lady Toppers made an immediate impact in Confer-ence USA, posting a 16-2 record to tie the league mark for league wins in a season, including eight wins on the road, to secure the program’s first regular season league title as a Conference USA member and 11th in program history. In early January, she led the Lady Toppers to the Associated Press Top 25 Rankings for the first time since the 1997-98 season. She also became just the 10th coach in NCAA history to lead their alma mater into the Associated Press Top 25 rankings as both a player and coach when the Lady Toppers were ranked for two weeks in January 2015.

The Lady Toppers then won three games in three days by a combined eight points to secure a tournament title at the Conference USA Championships in Birmingham, Ala.

Following the season, Clark-Heard was recognized for her outstanding accomplishments, earning Conference USA Coach of the Year and 2015 United States Marine Corps/WBCA NCAA Division I Regional Coach of the Year. honors. Her selection as a WBCA Regional Coach of the Year also made her a finalist for the Pat Summitt Trophy, awarded an-nually to the 2015 United States Marine Corps/WBCA NCAA Division I National Coach of the Year.

Her success at WKU has also helped her land new opportu-nities in the USA Basketball ranks. Clark-Heard was named an assistant coach for the 2015 U.S. Pan American Women’s Basketball Team, joining head coach Lisa Bluder of the University of Iowa and fellow assistant coach Scott Rueck of Oregon State University on the 2015 staff.

In Toronto, Clark-Heard helped lead the United States to a silver medal in her international assistant coaching debut, falling just short in the gold medal game against the host Canadians.

In 2013-14, Clark-Heard helped WKU win its final seven reg-ular season games before reeling off three straight in New Orleans, La. in March 2014 to win the Sun Belt Conference Championships with a 61-60 win over Arkansas State after WKU faced a 14-point deficit in the second half. The season

in the SIAC but ended the season in ninth place. In her second season at KSU, she guided the Thorobrettes to an impressive 19-9 record, finishing tied for fourth place in the SIAC. Clark-Heard earned SIAC Coach-of-the-Year honors after the impressive turnaround. Her 2006-07 Thorobrettes were the second most improved team in NCAA Division II women’s basketball during the 2006-07 season.

Before being named head coach at Kentucky State, Clark-Heard spent three seasons at Cincinnati as an assistant and four years at Nebraska in the same role. The Bearcats advanced to postseason play in two of her three seasons there while she helped Nebraska reach the NCAA Tourna-ment twice during her time with the team. She was also responsible for helping sign McDonald’s All-American Janice Bright for the Cornhuskers in 2001 while coaching alongside current Louisville coach Jeff Walz and under former WKU coach Paul Sanderford.

A four-year letterwinner on the Hill (1987-90), Clark-Heard was part of four NCAA Tournament teams during her Lady Topper career. She also helped guide the Lady Toppers to a pair of Sun Belt Conference Tournament championships (1988 and 1989) and two conference regular-season titles (1989 and 1990). She played in 118 games during her four years in the Hill, scoring 790 points and pulling down 615 rebounds. WKU amassed 89 victories during her four years in uniform, winning 70 percent of the games over that span and putting together three 20-win seasons.

Upon graduation from WKU, she spent eight years working within a recreational setting, five in Bowling Green and three with the Louisville Metro Parks Department. While in Louisville, she also served as head junior varsity coach and assistant varsity coach at DuPont Manual High School for the 1994-95 seasons and played professionally with the Kentucky Marauders of the Women’s Basketball Association in 1994-95.

The Louisville native earned Kentucky High School State Player of the Year honors in 1986 while playing at Atherton High School and was inducted into the Atherton Hall of Fame in 2003.

She was married on August 16, 2003 to Luther Heard.

GAME #1-/RV WKU 96, Alabama A&M 32

Nov. 11, 2016 - Bowling Green, Ky. - E.A. Diddle Arena

SUMMARY AND NOTABLESBOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU matched a program record by knocking down 13 three-pointers and scored its second-most points in the Michelle Clark-Heard era in a season-opening 96-32 victory over Alabama A&M on Friday evening inside E.A. Diddle Arena. The Lady Toppers’ 13 three-pointers matched efforts against Lamar (Jan. 20, 1996) and Middle Tennessee (March 11, 2003) for the most in school history, and the 96 points were the most in a single game for WKU (1-0) since notching 98 against Troy on Jan. 30, 2013. Kendall Noble (12 points, 10 rebounds) and Tashia Brown (13 points, 10 rebounds) each recorded double-doubles for WKU, and Ivy Brown finished with a game-high 20 points and nine boards. Jaycee Coe scored 14 points on 4-of-10 shooting from three-point range in her regular season debut for WKU, and Dee Givens rounded out the group of five in double figures with 10 points. Micah Jones dished out a career-best 12 assists on the evening to lead all players. Jameica Cobb led Alabama A&M (0-1) with 10 points, and Shakira Logan finished with a team-high six rebounds. The Lady Bulldogs are coached by Margaret Richards, a former WKU assistant coach who made her debut with the program on Friday evening.

GAME #2UT Arlington 71, -/RV WKU 68

Nov. 16, 2016 - Bowling Green, Ky. - E.A. Diddle Arena

SUMMARY AND NOTABLESBOWLING GREEN, Ky. - WKU opened the game on a 15-0 run, but UT Arlington responded with a 24-point fourth quarter as the Lady Toppers dropped a tight 71-68 matchup inside E.A. Diddle Arena on Wednesday evening. Despite leading for more than 37 minutes, the Lady Top-pers (1-1) could not overcome a 46-26 deficit in paint points and a 28-9 differential in points scored by bench players. Ivy Brown led all scorers for the second straight game with 18 points. Tashia Brown (15) and Kayla Smith (13) also reached double figures for WKU, while Smith and Kendall Noble tied for the team lead with seven rebounds. Rebekah VanDijk tallied a double-double for the Lady Mav-ericks (2-0) with 14 points and 12 rebounds and was joined in double figures by Christina Devers (15), Cierra Johnson (14) and Breck Clark (10). WKU’s lead grew to as many as 11 points on two occasions during the third quarter, but UT Arlington was able to close the deficit to 52-47 going into the final 10 minutes. Both sides battled throughout a fourth quarter that fea-tured four ties and five lead changes, but a late layup by UT Arlington’s Johnson with 23 seconds remaining put the Lady Mavericks ahead for good as Tashia Brown’s corner three-pointer did not fall at the buzzer to force overtime.
