Coach Bibbs on the Aggies strategy in the second half
“We wanted to stop Coppin’s penetration. What we had to do is lock people down. We knew our man-to-man wasn’t working that well. It was getting us into foul trouble, so we went into a zone. We had to keep putting the pressure on them after made baskets. We know they don’t play a lot of people, so we wanted to make them play an up-tempo game. We knew playing a slow down game played to their strength.”

Coach Bibbs on Taylor-James’ play off the bench as of late
“Brittanie Taylor-James was a starter for us last year. She is starting to come around with her defense. She is very good at getting to the line, and then once she gets there she knocks those free throws down. When she comes off that bench she is a scorer. She provides us with instant offense. We want her to catch and shoot it. When she gets rolling she’s tough to deal with.”

Coach Bibbs on Amber Bland’s scoreless second half
“Well she passes the ball a lot more than we would like her to do, but that’s how she plays. She is unselfish. I don’t think it was a matter of her not looking for her shot, we just had other people step up. When you have teams trying to stop Amber Bland, you’ve got other people that can put the ball in the basket like (forward Lamona Smalley), (Ta’Wuana Cook) and Taylor-James. We are hard to defend because we have people who can score the basketball.”

Coach Bibbs on the significance of beating Coppin State
“I know what it’s like to beat one of the best and make no mistake Coppin is one of the best. But I wanted the program to experience this, so I’m just happy for the program. We hit another milestone by beating the preseason No. 1 team in our conference. They are a very, very good team. We beat a good team tonight.”

Coach Bibbs on slowing down two-time MEAC Player of the Year Rashida Suber
“They like to pass the ball around, penetrate and dish out to her. So we told our players to make sure you know where she is. They did a good job with it. We really made her work for her shots tonight. It’s simple. It’s much tougher to score when you have a defender in your face. When you leave someone like Suber open, she’s definitely going to knock it down. She can put the ball on the floor, so you have to be conscience of that. But she likes to shoot that three and that’s what makes them so dangerous.”

Coach Bibbs on what the Aggies can do to improve
“We have to knock down our free throws. We were 55 percent tonight that’s normally not going to win games for you on the road.”

Sophomore forward Lamona Smalley on being undersized
“I know I have the quickness to get around people even though I’m undersized. It puts pressure on other teams to find me and block me out.”
