Buccaneer BasketBlog - Helen Terry - December 1, 2010

The women's basketball team will be providing fans a unique look inside the program as members of the team contribute to a weekly blog.


Hey what’s up everybody? It’s your girl Helen aka “H.T” or “H-Teezy”, whichever one you prefer haha. Well this past week was very LOONG week for the LADY BUCS. It started off with a WIN Monday night in the BUC DOME over UNC Greensboro 77-67. We took off for Texas at 4:45 Thursday morning, It was a very funny flight because Shay had never flown before and her and Kiki were both SOOO SCARED once we took off, their faces were PRICELESS :(. Once we arrived in Lubbock, Texas we checked into our beautiful hotel at the Hawthorne Inn which was by far one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. We all spent our Thanksgiving night together and with family who had came to watch us play. Friday, Saturday and Sunday we had games back to back to back vs. Texas Tech, Sam Houston and American. Unfortunately we ended up falling short to all teams :(. We were very disappointed in our performance because we all knew we could have played much better than we did. After experiencing these losses it opened up our eyes to ALL the little things that we need to work on but we took it as a learning experience. After finishing up with the games we got a tour around Texas Tech by Coach Newland who showed us all the buildings and his old dorm and we took team pictures in front of their Christmas tree & university seal :) which u can find on facebook posted by Abby Poole lol. During the tour, we stopped at the best frozen yogurt place I had ever been in. When I walked it I felt like a kid in a candy shop. You fixed your own cup from self serve machines. They had all the flavors you could think of cookies and cream, cheesecake, strawberry kiwi, pink lemonade, I mean you name it and more than likely they had it. On top of that they had ALLL the toppings, one of my favorites which are SOUR GUMMY WORMS yummy. I ended up getting the strawberry kiwi and pink lemonade mixed, with sour gummie worms, strawberries and kiwi on top and boy was it DELICIOUSSSSS. Our last day in Lubbock we got to go to the biggest one story mall in the nation! (As I was told from Katie Tull… sooo it might not be quite right lol jk love you girl). When we left the mall and were headed to the airport we saw little precious prairie dogs OMG I wanted to hop off the bus and catch me one and take it home with me too bad I couldn’t :( . We were scheduled to take off from Lubbock and head to Houston at 4:15 pm but once we got on the plane and settled the pilot comes on and tells us that the brakes are currently broken so we have to get off and wait for later departure. We were stuck at the Lubbock airport for 5 LOONG HOURS. We ended up having to fly to Dallas and stay the night there. Half of the team flew back to Charleston at 8:30 am and the rest didn’t arrive until 6 pm. Once we all were back in the Chuck we met for practice at 8 to prepare for a VICTORY over the Gamecocks and get back on the winning streak. Well that’s all for now folks continue to support your LADY BUCS. GET BIG…MP…BRING IT AYEEEEEEE!!!!
