Rose on The Bluff

Sitting alone atop the SWAC, the Lady Jags have showed a multitude of talent from their starting line up to their bench unit. Everyone has a job or speciality, and in the case of Brittany Rose, hers is shooting.
Hailing from Jackson, Mississippi, senior guard Brittany Rose has made a name for herself this season as one of the most consistent three-point shooters in the SWAC.
Shooting 37% from the field, Rose has become a huge part of the Southern women’s team success this season, and going forward, her ability to put the ball in the basket and create for her teammates will pay huge dividends later in the season.
Speaking with Brittany, her role on the team was defined from the start, as Southern needed shooting very badly when Rose first arrived.
“ I knew my role was going to be shooting. That’s what they told me during recruiting and I had already put that into my head.”
Starting the season off slowly, Rose was also able to reflect on exactly how her game has been able to evolve throughout this season and going into tournament play next month.
“My shot actually fell off a bit compared to my expectations, but that was on my end because I wasn’t in the gym [at the start of the season] as much as I could have been. But it’s coming along better now that I’ve been able to spend more time in the gym.”
At the same time, Rose admitted that the support from her coaches and teammates have also helped her game by encouraging her to shoot the ball more and with a higher degree of confidence.
“My team [and] my coaches push me to take more shots and to not be so passive [and] to just be more aggressive,” said Rose on her game this season and how she’s been able to improve as the seasons went on at the pace she has.
Being a Jaguar for as long as she has been now, Rose also lamented on some of the things she loves most about Southern University and being a Jaguar.
Most players try to focus expressly on the current season instead of looking too far ahead, and Rose isn’t much different in that regard. Despite being focused on this season however, Rose spoke briefly about her plans post-Southern, to which she replied. “I want to go somewhere and play, maybe overseas. Just working out and getting better. Anywhere [that I can ball], I’ll be there].”
Going into the home stretch of the season gearing up toward tournament play, Rose hopes to continue to help her team win games and lay at a high level.
