The Lady Aggies are hot!

By the time I made it to the Bethune-Cookman/A&T game this past Monday, the A&T starters were already finished. The commute from Raleigh/Durham, along with the time it took to mix that ole Scott Hall recipe, set me back a little!

But honestly, this is not a bad thing. The Lady Aggies’ bench is really stepping up and contributing down the stretch. What can you say? A&T is just playing extremely well right now. This team is Hot! It’s hot like that “physical plant steam” cutting through the hawk at 3 AM in the winter, as you walk over a steam man-hole across campus.

Brittanie Taylor-James is playing at a very high level. According to ESPN, she currently ranks 37th in the nation in scoring with a 17.9 ppg average thru Feb 8th ( http://sports.espn.go.com/ncw/leaders?year=2009&cat=1&type=1 )

Right now, this A&T team is creating its own history in Aggieland. They will face Maryland-Eastern Shore on Saturday at 2pm. The UMES Lady Hawks lost to the second placed Delaware State Lady Hornets by two points back in December, and they also suffered a two-point defeat to Coppin State on February 2nd. However, when UMES faced the Lady Aggies in Greensboro earlier this year, they were blown out.

UMES may show up, but don’t forget that steam is water that has heated up. It can run you out of a room like a Scott Hall radiator, and these Lady Aggies will run you off of the court.
