Coach Legacy of Big Mike (CH 2k8)

[southernmetalhead]

I'll be following. Cool to see a legacy based out of Louisiana as I'm from the South. I had a job offer from Louisiana-Lafayette after my 2nd year at Kennesaw State, but decided to head out West to Boise State. Hopefully you can turn things around after this losing streak.

The Tigers 3 game losing streak comes to an end as they make easy work of Alcorn State. Grambling PG Remond Brown didnt have his best showing as he only put up 6pts. Sr PF Steven Dandridge came out to make a statement in front of the home crowd posting 12pts, 4 rebounds and an assist. Dandridge and SG Shine got the Tigers off to a 8-0 lead from the opening tip and the Tigers never looked back. At the half the score was 38-24 Grambling. Coach told his team at the brea "Keep putting it on them, I want to be able to pull all starters and let our bench guys finish the game!" Thats exactly what happend by the end of the game all 11 Tigers had posted playing time and points in the book. When SR PG Dion Watson entered the game the student section went Wild! Coach told Dion "Go put some points next to your name." With 2:30 left in the Game Dion walked out on the court and got up 2 shots but niether went in. that didnt stop him he got the ball and dished out an assist to Freeman. Then what do you know Dion took the ball strong to the rack and got his first points of the year. Sudent section " Dion! Dion! Dion!" When it was all said and done the final score would be Grambling 71 Alcorn 56. After game coach told the school paper " We needed this game to get our groove back before playing Texas Southern. The student section helped us so much tonight."

The Tigers finished off their Texas road trip with a game against Prairie View A&M. The games started off slow as the teams traded trips to the free throw line on the first 3 possessions. Coach had a feeling this could be a trap game and his team would be looking forward to the match up against Jackson State.
Grambling could just not put this game away as the teams traded blows from start to finish. At the Half Grambling would only be up by 1 point 42-41. Coach told his team you can look ahead to playing JSU all you want but if you don't win tonight it won't even matter when we tip-off against them. 2nd Half wasn't any better as the Tigers just could not pull away from the pesky Panthers. With 6.6 left to play PV SG Montreal Scott would sink a jumper to give them the lead 78-77. Coach Mike quickly called a timeout to calm his team down. He looked Remond Brown square in the eyes and told him we will either win this game or lose this game on your shot. Take the ball strong to the hole. Break. The ball is inbounded and Brown takes off down the court gets to the lane and is fouled. He steps to the free throw line with 1.9 left to play and calmly knocks down both shots give Grambling a 79-78 lead. Press D does not allow PV to get off another shot as Grambling sneaks out of there with the WIN. PF Dandridge lead all Grambling scorers with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assist. Glinton added 12 and 5 from the Center position while Brown had 10 points and 3 steals.
