BALTIMORE, Md. - Auburn women's basketball head coach Nell Fortner picked up the 100th victory of her career as a collegiate head coach Sunday as the No. 10 Tigers (12-0) shut down Coppin State (0-9) in the second half for a 74-46 win.

Fortner began her coaching career in 1986 as an assistant, but is in only her sixth season as a collegiate head coach after serving stints with the U.S. National Team and in the WNBA. Five of her six seasons as a head coach have come at Auburn with 83 of her 100 victories coming as the Tigers' head coach.

Currently holding a perfect 12-0 record so far this season, Fortner was quick to deflect the attention to her staff and players.

"I have been fortunate to have Kerry Cremeans with me through all 100 of those wins, she was with me at Purdue and all through at Auburn," said Fortner. "Melissa Maines has been with me through five of those six years as a collegiate head coach, Kelly Komara has been with me for four of those years and I think I am most proud of them.

"You have to have a great staff to accomplish anything and I have been fortunate to be surrounded by some very good people and some very good players."

Auburn used steady offense and a lock-down second-half defensive effort to leave Coppin State with the win. Leading by only seven at halftime, the Tigers held the Eagles scoreless for more than nine minutes to open the second half. AU limited Coppin State to 16 second-half points on 17.9 percent shooting.

The better question is: do we have any lookers on the team?

My bet is "no".

"Lookers"? no.  "Doable?" yes

You mean besides the 6'10" chick with the adam's apple?

[wesfau2]

"Lookers"? no.  "Doable?" yes

Those are two very separate and distinct categories.  The "doable" category is very, very numerous.

[wesfau2]

Eh...not bad.  Definitely doable, bordering on "looker".

[Tiger Six]

That is Alli Smalley.

I saw her play in high school several times.  She could beat anyone on this board in a game of one-on-one.

I don't doubt that.  I've met a lot of you, and let's just say it's not the most athletic bunch I've hung around.  She would use Wes as a step-stool.

Spot on, Wilt.

Speak for yourself...I got game.

Vertical or horizontal?

[Tiger Six]

You might not score. 

[Snaggletiger]

I don't know.  She's not real quick off the dribble and has a bad tendency to try and drive the left lane on every possession. If you can cut her off at the baseline and push her out beyond the arc, you force her to play the 2 and that's just not her game.


I have no idea what I just said but that #5 for Auburn is pretty hot.

[Saniflush]

You mean besides the 6'10" chick with the adam's apple?

"Whoa, transvestite, back off! Wait a minute...pre-op or post-op?"

[Jumbo]

You might not score. 

I would score with or without her.

[chinook]

sooooooooooo.... how is the team doing?

[Snaggletiger]

14-0 and ranked #9.
