GRAMBLING, Louisiana — The recent success of Grambling's women's basketball program, or lack thereof, hasn't exactly been enough to command respect on its home court.

And the Lady Tigers know that. But that doesn't mean they don't take offense to an opposing team hooting and hollering at them over the weekend during practices or walk-thru's at the Fredrick C. Hobdy Arena.

"When you come into somebody’s house screaming and yelling, that’s very disrespectful. That triggers me," said Grambling freshman Jazmine Boyd. "I knew we had to win this game."

The Lady Tigers shot an otherworldly 66.7 percent from the field and had three different players score at least 19 points in an 89-69 win Monday night over defending Southwestern Athletic Conference champions Alabama State.
