A&T 79 - WSSU - 53 Final

Good Game Aggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie One]

No contest at all really. To say WSSU was over matched would be a gross understatement.

Coach Bibbs' youngsters in the front court along the bench got plenty of work in the second half which is a good thing.

Sams did not play tonight according to the box score...I think Bibbs held her out because she tweaked an ankle last game....

Good win....you beat the people you are supposed to beat.....and gorged this RAM badly....I must say!

AGGIES CRUISE TO 14TH STRAIGHT WIN OVER WSSU


WINSTON-SALEM – Teams who are not accustomed to playing in large arenas often find it difficult to find their shooting touch from the outside. Thanks to a schedule that took the North Carolina A&T women’s basketball team to such places as LSU, Iowa State and New Mexico, it’s not much of an issue.

The Aggies played at the 15,000-seat Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Monday night against arch-rival Winston-Salem State. Not only did the Aggies not have trouble shooting the ball from the perimeter, they also didn’t have any trouble with the Rams as they cruised to a 79-53 win.

It was the Aggies 14th straight win over the Rams. The Aggies have won those games by an average of 21.4 points.

“This is the way it’s been for us all year long,’’ said N.C. A&T head coach Patricia Cage-Bibbs. “When we were on the road all that time, we played in coliseums in front of hostile crowds. So my ladies aren’t fazed by it.”

What makes that even more appealing to know is that the Aggies will try to defend their MEAC title at the LJVM in March. The Aggies shot 52.6 percent from the field and were 11-for-20 from 3-point range. But Bibbs was quick to point that after going 25-for-27 from the free throw line on Saturday against S.C. State, the Aggies were just 8-for-18 from the line on Monday.

“I believe in this team,’’ said Bibbs, who saw the Aggies shoot 35 percent from the floor on Saturday. “We’re going to put it all together and come out with some consistency. But when you are getting to the basket and getting open shots like we were tonight, you need to knock those shots down. We did that tonight.”

Freshman Amber Calvin got the Aggies started. She hit four of her first six 3-pointers to give the Aggies a 19-9 lead 5 ½ minutes into the game. Calvin went to the bench at the 11:28 mark with two first-half fouls. The Rams sliced the Aggies lead to 23-21 before Ta’Wuana Cook took over the shooting.

Cook made two 3-pointers in between a Tyronnica Alford free throw to give the Aggies a 30-21 advantage with 7:36 to play in the first half. The Aggies lead grew to as many as 17 in the first half as 10 of their 11 3-pointers went through the basket in the first half.

The Aggies were led by Cook’s 15 points. Calvin added 14, and Smalley finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. Vontisha Woods and MaLisa Bumpus had 15 apiece. The Aggies begin a four-game stretch at home starting Saturday when they take on Coppin State at 2 p.m.

looks like our ladies learned a valuable lesson from the scsu game and that's a good thing. no matter how poorly an opponent has played against other teams, we've always got to expect them to play much better against us. because of the bull's eye that we're sportin' on our backs, we can't afford to take any team for granted.

btw, i haven't checked, but i doubt that any other freshman in the meac is playing better than amber calvin. it seems to me that she's following in tweet's footsteps to become meac rookie of the year. i'm very impressed by this young lady. we're very much "set" at point guard for the next 3 years! its one of the most difficult positions to fill and we've got one of the best.

as a freshman, she leads our team in assists and free throw shooting (an outstanding 82%), she's 2nd in 3 pt. shooting, 2nd in steals, and 3rd in scoring. her only bad stat is her team leading number of turnovers. but considering she's a freshman starting point guard, that statistic isn't totally alarming and she's getting better at it every game...

We all see why UNC offered her a full ride.
