Alabama A&M women's basketball preview: Tobar gets a little help

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - One of the best players in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, Alabama A&M guard Whiquitta Tobar was a first-team All-SWAC selection last season after averaging a league-high 18.1 points per game.

 If the Bulldogs are going to be successful this season, coach Altherias Warmley said Tobar has to have a better supporting cast. The league's preseason Player of the Year got very little help from her teammates a year ago, but Warmley believes that will change after watching her team the last month.

"We have eight solid players and we signed one of the best recruiting classes since I've been here," said Warmley, who begins her 10th season Friday when A&M visits Vanderbilt. "Whiquitta was all of our offensive production last year, but we've got some other players that are ready to step up."

Senior Nefayia Watkins, juniors Shundray Davis and Danielle Oneal and sophomore Brittney Stickland will be counted on to take some pressure off of Tobar in the backcourt.
