From Lady Swish:
Former Lady Monarchs star Hamchetou “Mama” Maiga, who will be inducted into the Old Dominion University Sports Hall of Fame on Oct. 15, is leading her native Mali in the 2011 African Championships (Afrobasket) beginning Saturday in Bamako, Mali. In fact, she’s the captain of her squad, and as such has made some bold proclamations regarding what’s about to go down.
“We will win back the trophy,” Maiga told the press on the eve of the event “The loss in the final against Senegal in Madagascar (2009) was a bitter pill down our throat. This is an opportunity to redeem ourselves.”
Funny, we could never get such juicy copy out of Maiga when she played around here….
