Grambling starts long road trip in Dallas

DALLAS, Texas - Both Grambling's basketball teams are probably glad Saturday is in their rearview mirrors.  Dual losses to Texas Southern let the Tigers (2-13, 2-3) and Lady Tigers (6-9, 2-3) know they each have a long road ahead, and each squad will have to remedy its issues away from home before its seasons slip away.

That challenge begins Monday afternoon when coaches Donnita Rogers and Bobby Washington and company tip off a doubleheader of 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. contests in Dallas against Prairie View A&M.

GSU held leads in each game Saturday before falling short, and leaving Rogers to say on Sunday morning that she's "been better." "We're really frustrated," she said of her women's team. "We're going on the road, though, and it's an opportunity to get back on track. "It's like we take two steps forward and three steps back. We've just got to get across to them mentally, because I know we're in shape, and I know we know how to play."
