Rattlers fall by only 27 points
The Florida A&M Rattlers dropped an 87-60 decision to Big 12 Conference foe Kansas State in the first K-State Holiday Basketball Classic, presented by Subway at the new Sprint Center here Monday night.
FAMU (3-7) lost for the fourth time in the last five games Monday and its was their second setback in two games this season against Big 12 Conference competition.
Senior guard Leslie Robinson led FAMU with 19 points Monday, as the Rattlers fell behind big early to the bigger Wildcats (7-3), who exploited their size advantage to run away with the game in the first half.
The guys lost, but what does the headline mean, that they lost "by only 27 points"? Is twenty-seven points not enough to lose by? I'm not necessarily speaking about the loss itself, just the headline.
ReplyDeletei'm thinking, it means it could have been worse.
ReplyDeleteThe men's team needs more height. "Small Ball" doesn't work unless you have really good guards and wing players.
ReplyDeleteThe women's team should be thinking about top 25 rankings pretty soon. Then playing in the MEAC will knock all that out.
ReplyDeleteIts about time! and as far as the men bball team goes we need Jesus
