Basketball / Women's Basketball / N.C. State / Duke / ACC / N.C. Central Women's roundup: Eagles try to bounce back; State visits Southern Cal
Posted by Mike Potter @mikepotterrdu on Wed, Dec 30, 2009 at 12:01 AM
Just how can a basketball team bounce back from an 89-point loss?
N.C. Central is going to find out today.
The Eagles (1-10), who fell 117-28 at Duke on Monday, try to get onto the winning track today when they host South Carolina State (4-6) at McLendon-McDougald Gym. SCSU beat the Eagles 81-75 in overtime back on Dec. 1 in Orangeburg.
That contest is one of two on the slate for the Triangle's Division I women's teams.
N.C. State (8-5) will be on the left coast tonight for a battle with Southern California (6-4). The Trojans are on a two-game winning streak since their 78-72 loss to Duke in Durham on Dec. 6.
NCCU is expected to again have leading scorer Joanna Miller (pictured), who was out on a one-game suspension for a violation of team rules while her teammates took on Duke. The game against the Bulldogs is the opener of a six-game homestand for Joli Robinson's club.
