The Lady Aggies can flat-out ball. You won't find many people who will disagree with that.
This weekend, Washington, DC will be the site of the 'last dance' for the MEAC's top scorer, A&T senior forward Brittanie Taylor-James (18.4 ppg). She will be leading an Lady Aggie team that is giving no 'bailouts' this season. These Aggie ballers have already surprised UNC-Charlotte, East Carolina, and many of the other out-of-conference teams they've faced thus far. The Lady Aggies want to go to the "Big Dance" in March and they're looking to avoid any letdowns.
Right now A&T is playing at an extremely high level. However, the ladies from Howard are well aware of this. Zykia Brown, who was named the MEAC's Player of the Week on January 21, paces a Bison team that's currently 2-4 in conference play and 3-15 overall . She and her dance partners will try to bring their best. But honestly, I don't expect the Aggies to 'slow drag' at this “ball”. I expect a quick 'one -two step' victory when these two squads tip off Saturday at 2 PM.
DC-area Aggie fans, don’t miss your chance to see a special player & special team this weekend.

The Aggie Men head to the "Mecca"
The Aggie Men head to Howard University (a.k.a the Mecca) this weekend, searching for a renewal of "faith" and confidence after losing to a South Carolina State team that many in Aggieland felt they should have beaten. Now the Aggies prepare to face the Howard Bison at 4PM on Saturday in the tough 2,700-seat Burr Gym.
The Bison, with their red white & blue colors, are dangerous in their own gym. They have already beaten the Presidential Brother-in-Law's team, Oregon State, earlier this season. Howard also seems to usually have the Aggies' number in DC.
Their fan poll ('which home basketball game are you most looking forward to?') shows that A&T is 3rd on the list behind Oregon & Hampton ( http://www.howard-bison.com/current?pollresults=view ). Maybe that's because of the many A&T alums who live in the area.
The question is which Aggie team will show up Saturday. Heck, which Howard team will show up? I can't call it.
The Aggies have balance and should win, but I do know that their search for "faith" and confidence will continue, win or lose.
