SCSU coach hopes Lady Bulldogs now have mix to move to top tier in basketball

ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- Head coach Doug Robertson has never tried to put a timetable on building a women’s basketball championship team at South Carolina State.

Entering his fifth year with a 45-75 record in four seasons, Robertson believes he finally has the right mix of talent to bring the Lady Bulldogs back into prominence in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.

“I never consider anything ‘make or break,’” said Robertson during Wednesday’s MEAC preseason teleconference. “It’s all about obtaining the talent for us year in and year out and I think since my tenure here, this is probably our most talented group that I’ve had here top to bottom.”

The Lady Bulldogs return four players from last year’s squad that went 13-16 overall, 7-9 in the MEAC. Senior Tiara Knotts is the team’s top returning scorer at 13.2 points to go with 2.8 assists and will be pared in the backcourt with last year’s promising newcomer point guard Cabriel Duren.
