Sustaining Success Through Support
Since 2018, the Hilltoppers have racked up an impressive 100 straight conference regular season wins, and in 2025 alone, they secured both the regular season and tournament titles in Conference USA.
They’ve added 11 NCAA tournament appearances in the last 12 years, including a Sweet 16 run in 2021. But keeping up that level of performance costs money — money that comes from supporters like you.
The 2026-27 Victory Club campaign is focused on direct support for student-athletes. Donations go toward things like additional scholarships, better equipment, expanded support staff, and recruitment resources. Hudson says it all adds up to more opportunities for the athletes and a better chance to keep climbing.
The program has already used similar donations in the past few years, which helped cover costs during a period of rising expenses in college athletics. With the cost of recruiting and facility maintenance continuing to rise, Hudson is pushing hard for another surge of support.
Numbers tell a big part of this story. Since 2011, the Hilltoppers have 431 wins, the most in the nation over that span. These aren’t flukes — they’re the result of planning, discipline, and yes, financial backing.
Hudson says the program is in a good place, but it’s not guaranteed to stay there. “We want to build on this,” he wrote in a letter to alumni and fans. The Victory Club is the bridge, the way to keep things going.
