CONWAY -- There isn't much mystery left to discover about the University of Central Arkansas women's basketball program.

Just over a year after Tony Kemper was named the head coach of the Sugar Bears, his remodeled team has its identity -- on and off the court.

UCA hosts Saint Louis today at 6:30 p.m. at the Farris Center for a first-round WNIT matchup. It will be the first national postseason appearance for the Sugar Bears since 2018 and just the third time in program history they will host a game.

The Sugar Bears are 14-0 at home this season, including two wins in the ASUN Tournament to advance to the championship game. What started as a fun tidbit about the benefits of sleeping in your own bed has become a legitimate data point for teams coming to Conway.
