The Hilltoppers are right in the thick of the C-USA race with an undefeated conference record. Unlike years past, this is a team that is really led by their defense. The offense is still very good, with plenty of dynamic players but the defense has been something special, giving up just 18.8 ppg in conference action. They also know how to deal with bad teams, dispatching their last opponents by an average of 18.5 points.
