TALLAHASSEE, Florida - Two years ago when the Florida A&M women’s basketball team won 18 games for the first time in more than a decade, the Rattlers had served notice early in their schedule that they’d be a competitive team.They beat Florida. Alabama and South Florida also made the Rattlers’ hit list. Such accomplishments — by FAMU or any other teams in the MEAC — were few not too long ago.
Before that, signature victories were mostly rivalry games or a meeting between top teams in the conference. But now teams in the MEAC are making it common to win games that they play as underdogs.
That’s happening because more talented players are coming into the conference and coaches are having more success getting their players to develop a mental edge, said LeDawn Gibson who is in her fourth season at FAMU.
