TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Florida A&M’s men’s basketball team is still young, but Byron Samuels’ crew is full of promise.The Rattlers won their fifth game of the season Tuesday night against Savannah State, overcoming a slow start and dismal 3-point shooting to defeat the Tigers 61-58 in front of a home crowd of 1,398.
Yes, the Rattlers are 5-10 and 1-1 in the MEAC, but they’ve already won nearly three times as many games as they did in the 2015-16 season. Plus, they’ve avoided losing more than three games in a row so far this season.
Not bad for a team that lost 23 in a row last year.
“We’re very, very close,” Samuels said. “But it starts with our decisions, defensively and offensively. We’ve got to continue to come to practice with a hardhat mentality. We’ve got to learn how to win ugly.
