B ROWN Hilhop Slaff Writer The solid shooting of Florida A&M forward Jamaal Rhodes coupled with numerous turnovers committed by Howard, enabled the visiting Rattlers to defeat the Bison 72-60 Saturday in Burr Gymnasium. The Bison entered the contest with an overall record , of 2- I 4, previously dropping a decision at South Car olina State, 53-46. Florida A&M came into the game with a record of 3-13, losing a tough game against Hampton, 65-63 at home Jan 4. The two teams split last season, with each winning on the opponent's home floor. The Bison lead the series 23-12. . From the opening tip-off, the Rattlers immediately overpowered the Bison. Howard junior forward Jer maine Holliway fouled Florida A&M center Kevin George only 11 seconds into the game. George con nected on both free throws, supplying the Rattlers with an early 2-0 advantage. Easy baskets, including a three-pointer by Florida A&M's Travis Grant, gave the visitors a 7-1 lead. A s1911 and dunk by Rattlers' guard Morris Scott extended FAMU's lead to 9-1. Senior for ward Melvin Watson of Howard missed a three-point er, but point guard Ali Abdullah hit two free throws to finally put Howard on the board again with 15:52 remaining in the half. Watson later made his first bas ket 10 cut the FAMU lead to 12-5. Reserve guard Bakari Adams checked into the game and didn't waste any time getting started. Adams made a three-point shot to cut J'AMU's advantage to 12:8, But with the help of George and forward Kendnc Green, the Rattlers took a 22-10 lead late in the half. Howard responded as Adams and Holliway each scored crucial baskets. Adams scored five points while Holliway scored on a critical jumper in the paint bringing the halftime score to 40-32, with Florida A&M still holding on to the lead. During halfti me, President H. Patrick Swygert pre sented the men's soccer team with its championship rings. Howard is the two-time defending Mid-Conti nent Eastern Conference champions. , The second half of the game saw Howard come out smoking. The Bison went on a 6-0 run as Abdullah and guard Antonio Michell connected on back-to-back tnree-pointers. Michell was able to score with the shot clock running down. At this point, the score was 43- 39. As was 1he case 1hrougbou1 the game, FAMU answered each and every Howard scoring surge. FAMU guard Grant hit a wide-open three-point shot to give his team a 48-41 advantage. After that, the Bison looked like a new team. Howard pretty much scored at will. A hard foul committed by FAMU guard Mon roe Pippins on Abdullah lit a spark under the team. The duo of Watson and reserve forward/center Dave Lib bctt made spectacular jumpers and moves to finally give Howard the lead at 60-57. FAMU had never trailed for the entire game until 4: 19 remaining. The scoring. at least for 1J1e Bison, ended there. Lack of enthusiasm, energy and control by the Bison played heavily 10 FAMU's advantage. The Rattlers went on a 15-0 run to end the game as a result of fairly easy steals and fast break points. The run by FAMU was like deja' vu. Hampton victimized the Bison by going on a 28- 0 run 10 end a Jan. 4 contest at home. Howard head coach Kirk Saulny was discouraged by his team's performance. 'This is the worst we've played in a month. We weren't ready for the game. this is the most regression I've seen all season," said Saulny. However, Saulny did go on to commend Libbett on supplying some a1hle1icism coming ;:,ff the bench. In addition, he praised Abdullah for his tough play. "Abdullah was the only one who went hard for rebounds. Everyone else just stood around and looked," added Saulny. Leading MEAC scorer Pippins of FAMU was able to score 13 points. But Rhodes was the one 10 put the Bison away. scoring a game-high 15 points, which was the same amount the Bison backcourtof Abdullah and Michell scored combined. Watson converted 50 per cent of his shots, en route to leading the team with 13 points. One major key ofth e game was turnovers. FAMU com mitted only S. but Howard committed 28.
