Hope everyone had a great break and a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family. While you were away eating turkey, our men’s and women’s basketball teams were hard at work in the Midwest at their respective tournaments.
Martin nearly averaged a double-double in three games against Southern Illinois, Austin Peay and Southern. He had 15 points in the Bucs’ 89-54 victory over Southern, and nine points apiece against the other two schools. He had a season-best 14 rebounds against Southern Illinois and added four assists, one block and five steals for the tournament. He shot at a .765 clip for the tournament and had 28 rebounds in three games.
Also Nominated: Kelsey Wasmer (Women’s Basketball)
November 22 – Women’s Basketball vs. UNC Greensboro – W, 77-67
Before heading to Texas for a tournament, the women’s basketball team took down a solid UNC Greensboro team at home. Katie Tull moved to the top of the career record books for threes made, while four Buccaneers had a double-digit scoring performance. Kelsey Wasmer had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, while Hellen Terry had 13 points, and Lakeitha Alston had 12 points.
November 23 – Men’s Basketball @ Southern Illinois – L, 85-67
We mentioned the Richmond game last week, and the men’s basketball team continued to compete in the Chicago Invitational on the road against a perennial NCAA tournament qualifier in Southern Illinois. CSU shot better than 46 percent in the second half, but couldn’t slow down the Salukis, who shot almost 60 percent from the field for the game. Kenny Mitchell had a double-digit scoring night with 15, while Jeremy Sexton was the lone Buccaneer with multiple three-point makes.
November 26 – Men’s Basketball vs. Austin Peay – L, 70-64
An oddly formatted tournament meant that CSU finally went to the Windy City for the third and fourth games of the Chicago Invitational, after traveling to Richmond and Southern Illinois in the first two games. Facing Austin Peay, the Bucs again struggled defensively, giving up 70 points, 24 to Anthony Campbell, and allowing the Governers to shoot better than 50 percent. Jamarco Warren had 18 points for CSU, while Jeremy Sexton had 14, the only two Bucs in double figures.
November 26 – Women’s Basketball @ Texas Tech – L, 82-57
The first game of the World Vision Classic, the Bucs had to face the home-standing Texas Tech Red Raiders of the Big 12. The inside game of Tech proved too much as they outscored CSU 28-10 in the pain in the first half, shooting at a 63 percent clip. Even so, it was a seven point game (48-41) with 15:55 left in the game before the depth of Tech took over as they steadily pulled away to stay 5-0 on the season.
November 27 – Men’s Basketball vs. Southern – W, 89-54
CSU moved to 3-4 on the season with an easy victory over Southern. Four Buccaneers scored at least 12 points, while 10 CSU players had at least one bucket in the game. The Bucs showed their depth playing a total of 14 players in the contest. Kelvin Martin and Kenny Mitchell narrowly missed double-doubles with 15-9 and 15-7 performances, respectively. The victory ended a long road trip that began last Sunday with a game against Richmond.
November 27 – Women’s Basketball vs. Sam Houston State – L, 76-70
The second of three-straight days with a contest, the Bucs hung with Sam Houston State, and had three players (Lakeitha Alston, Lydia Johnson, Helen Terry) record a double-double, while Kelsey Wasmer also had a double-figure scoring effort, but Britni Martin’s 37 points proved too much. The starting five for CSU each played at least 27 minutes of the contest, with Johnson, Wasmer and Tull each playing 34 minutes or more.
November 28 – Women’s Basketball vs. American – L, 60-49
The legs finally caught up to CSU as they shot just 27 percent from the field and only Kelsey Wasmer scored more than 10 points with 18. Wasmer earned all-tournament team honors for her performances in the tournament. It was an early run that really did in CSU as they went 0-7 as American went on a 17-0 run early in the game.
