Defending champion Aggies OK with being picked 2nd

By The Associated Press: Posted on Thursday, October 27, 2011 1:35 PM
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Gary Blair and his Texas A&M Aggies are the defending national champions, yet they aren’t even favored to win the Big 12 this season.

That’s fine with Blair and his overachieving Aggies. They weren’t expected to win it all last season, but knocked offBaylorto get to the Final Four before beatingNotre Damefor the title.

“We like staying under that radar,” Blair said.

Blair knows that his team will be a target this year because of what they accomplished last season.

“If we lose a game this year, before they get to the dressing room, those assistant coaches will be dialing their recruits (saying) we just knocked off the national champion,” Blair said.

Clayton State ends Shaw's Cinderella NCAA run

By BP Wire Services: Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 10:10 AM
SAINT JOSEPH, Mo. -- They never wore glass slippers - more like well-worn steel-toed work boots - but Shaw remained the Cinderella of this year's NCAA Division II Women's  Basketball Tournament until Clayton State knocked them out of the dance by beating the Lady Bears 63-46 in the national semi-final.
 
Shaw was hamstrung by poor shooting and a plague of turnovers, often when trying to push the ball inside.
 
"We didn't play well tonight," said Shaw Head Coach Jacques Curtis.

Gifted Griner wants to do even more for Baylor

By The Associated Press: Posted on Friday, March 18, 2011 10:26 AM
WACO, Texas -- Brittney Griner has already had an impact on women’s basketball like few players before her.

The 6-foot-8 Griner can dunk, rebound, block shots and alter games with her imposing presence in the lane. Yet as dominating as she has been in her two seasons for the Baylor Lady Bears, she isn’t so sure she has lived up to the billing.

“I don’t think I’m as good as what everybody says I am,” Griner said. “I think I’m alright.”
Forgive her opponents, and even her own teammates, if they disagree.
