Me watching my favorite Women

So, I finally got to see some of my favorite women in person.

No not Alicia Keys, or Laura London ( that will come later aka "there's a meeting in my bedroom, bedroom, bedroom)...

I am talking about the Lady Terrapins of The University of Maryland.

I went to their Historic (first home win against duke in ten years and my first wms game there) win against the Lady Blue Devils of Duke.

I loved it.
And DAMN... Marissa Coleman came to ball...she did it all, post moves, played the point, hitting 3's and was real smooth all game. Like George Gervin Smooth, like Baby Oil smooth. She dropped 30 on them.

The game was great and the atmosphere in the arena was electric. They really gave the fans a great time....

They use a lot of video of the team to motivate the crowd and it worked like a charm.
Here are the pics

I think I'll go to another game very soon....

Big Monday recap: Duke vs. Maryland

At the beginning of the season the seniors on the University of Maryland women's basketball team set goals. One of them was to end the Terrapins 9 game home losing streak against the duke blue devils. On a chilly Monday night they accomplished just that and by doing so became the first team this season with 20 wins (10 straight).

This rematch of the 2006 championship game (which the Terps won in overtime) looked as if it would be a route as the Terrapins came out the gate with a lot of energy and jumped out to a big lead before Duke battled back with a run of their own. Maryland ended the first half with and 11 point lead.

At the start of the second half after being down 13 Duke used a 10-0 run to cut the lead to 47-43. Maryland responded by extending the lead back to 9 but couldn't put the game away. The Blue devils were resilient though. They kept battling and eventually tied the score at 65 on 7-0 flurry.

There were 7 minutes left. All of the sudden this was anybody's game.

Then the Maryland Terrapins kicked back into gear. They closed the game on a 17-2 run.

Marissa Coleman tied a career high with 30 pts as the No.4 Terps came away with the 85-70 win over the No.13 Blue Devils. The junior guard seemed to be on a mission to make sure her senior teammates went out with this win, leaving even her coach a little in awe.

Krisit Toliver scored 19 of her 21 points in the second half and added 6 assists. Crystal Langhorne added 16 points and 7 boards in a game where the Terps sometimes looked bored with big leads.

Jasmine Thomas and Wanisha Smith netted 17 points a piece for Duke who saw a 8 game winning streak snapped.

The Blue Devils fought valiantly but in the end poor free throw shooting and a lack of execution down the stretch proved detrimental.

Overall the game was a great one for fans to watch and a great start to a series of 8 potentially exciting Big Monday games on ESPN.
Next up is the much anticipated match up between Connecticut and North Carolina.

"Like You'll Never See Me Again"

Ms. Keys, A very good video.
1. She's so very Sexy. 2. The storyline from the Common's "I Want You" video.
3. She look so good. 4. Another reminder that you don't know when it's your last day.






Finally, I'd like to close by taking Alicia's words to heart

Baby, I Love You

As I Am...review

Hey, It's ya girl Ash here to fill you on the hottest album of November (sorry Hov)

For all you Alicia Keys fans the wait is finally over!!!!

Ms. Keys has finally dropped her long awaited third album entitled As I Am (released Nov.13^th).

I tend to be a little biased when it comes to Alicia Keys because I’m a die-hard fan and love everything she puts out. Mainly because it’s original and all her own. But for those of ya’ll who may have been sleeping on her you need to go out and cop this album, it’s her best work yet.

“You can definitely expect the unexpected from this album," Keys admitted. "It's different. It has a new energy. It has a new feeling. It has like more of aggression to it. I've learned a lot this year and I've been through a lot. So I think that I've grown as a person. You definitely feel it. You hear it in the sound of it. You hear it in the passion in my voice. You hear it all the way around the board.”---Alicia Keys

You get a balance of slow and fast tracks on this album.

Her two current singles “No One” and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” (just released) continue to blow up the air waves. And they are just a taste of the hard work she’s been putting in, in the studio. You have to love how she mixes her classic piano style with a taste of R&B (new and old).

Other singles to look out for are “Lessons Learned”, “Wreckless Love”, “The Thing About Love”, “Superwoman” and “Sure Looks Good to Me.”

If you only buy one album (no bootlegs) this fourth quarter get Alicia Keys’, As I Am.

It’s a classic. It’s energetic. And Ms. Keys lets it be known that’s it’s aight to be yourself and express your feelings. If you don’t feel something when you listen to this album there’s DEFINITELY something wrong with you…..

For those of you that haven’t seen this yet. You need to check out “Like You’ll Never See Me Again”

Till the next review,

Ash

Look What I Found

Since I (LowKey) haven't updated in a VERY long time, I figured I better get on my dean before Mr. Talented (Whad Up Ash ahahahahha) serves me a pink slip. This is the rumored second single from Alicia Keys new album As I Am.

Alicia Keys- Like You'll Never See Me Again
