		<description><![CDATA[Head Coach Ken McDonald said he constantly tells the Toppers that they shouldn’t settle for a good shot when they could instead take a great shot.
The 2009-2010 season was expected to be one great shot, but instead Western (21-13) fell to Troy 54-48 in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament’s semifinals.

For the past two years, they watched the Toppers pull off victories in dramatic fashion, culminating in a run to the Sweet 16 in 2008 and the round of 32 in 2009.
