i tried to warn folks last season about umes. seems like umes places more emphasis on their women's sports than their men. i expect umes' women to be a top 3 or 4 meac team this year. our ladies struggled with them in maryland last year. i was at that game and we barely escaped with a narrow victory.
i'm sure bibbs is smart enough to know not to take umes lightly this weekend. by no means will they be a pushover...

You kill me with that pushover stuff. You said the same thing about MSU and Coppin and they both got clipped by 18............at home. And that UMES team you saw? Did you know they lost all/most of their size to graduation and/or transfers? Did you know their best players off the bench are freshmen? Not to mention we cleared them by 20 at home last year. I'm predicting a 25 point blowout. Don't ever worry about the early game in Corbett. The late game is ALWAYS the eternal mystery.

We should win by no less than 20 points if we're on our game.

You might be in the aau coaches hall of fame or whatever, but it is painfully obvious that you a terrible evaluator of talent. I mean, seriously...........Not only was that team a pushover, but they wasted their gas by even showing up. You warned us about Morgan, you warned us about Coppin, you "expected" sorry @ss UNCC to beat us, then you say that UMES would be a toughy. When I think oldeschool (at least when it comes to the ladies), I think of two words....................................Consistently Wrong! lol There is no reason to doubt the ladies. Worry about the late game. lol

You're O for you last four. You gonna pull a hamstring with the backpedalling you're doing now. lol I'm gonna have to pull Doc B out of retirement and get you some stem treatment.

^ ^ ^ There you go again. LOL.
Seriously, do you make a point to go on each of our opponent's websites and locate the player who has the best stats?
None of these chicks are on Brittanie's level. Not-a-one!

Furthermore, not only can anyone match Brittanie's skill set, but no one in this conference can match Amber's athleticism. There is no one in this conference that is a problem, OK! Period. Even if we do happen to lose at a game, it's just the law of averages. We have all the problems for everyone else.

Amber just needs to develop a Killer instinct.
I wish Apollo Creed was still alive so he could run sprints with her on the beach and help her get the eye of the tiger.

I was told that Amber can dunk but she has not tried it in a game yet. I would love to she her do it even if it's just doing warmups.
