Rattlers ready to get back to work

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - LeDawn Gibson wasn't buying into the hype that says so much pressure comes with playing at home. And who can blame the Florida A&M women's basketball coach, considering the Rattlers are on a four-game win streak — coming during the longest road stretch they'll play this season.

"We don't see it as pressure," Gibson said Monday. "We accept it as a challenge; just come home and continue to play well for your fans."

FAMU (7-5, 1-0 MEAC) will end its Christmas break today to begin preparation for the University of Alabama-Birmingham (8-2) on Jan. 2 at the Lawson Center. The Rattlers will be going into the game with plenty of momentum that's reminiscent of the 2009 season when they won seven of their first 12 games.
