Weekly Recap - December 28 - January 3

First off, we hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas and a happy and safe New Year. Like most of the world, we are “officially” back to work today, although both basketball teams enjoyed abbreviated breaks, getting back on the court on the 29th with tough non-conference opponents.

With 37 points and a game-tying three with time winding down against Presbyterian College, Jamarco Warren is this week’s CSU Athlete of the Week. In the last three games, dating back to Dec. 21, Warren is averaging better than 30 points per game (30.6) with a pair of 37-point performances at home against Southeastern and Presbyterian. He also led the team with 18 points against Auburn.

Warren’s 37 against Southeastern marked the first time since the 2006-07 season that a Buccaneer has topped 30 points. He then duplicated the feat with a dramatic 30-foot three pointer as the clock expired to send the game against Presbyterian into overtime.

December 29 – WBB @ College of Charleston – L, 64-59
The women’s basketball team didn’t finish 2009 or start 2010 the way they would have wanted to, but 12 games into the season, they still have a .500 record, despite a 1-4 record on the road. Against the College of Charleston, the Cougars jumped out to a 10-0 lead to start the game, holding a 12 point advantage at the half. CSU would claw back, but despite 14 points from Katie Tull and 12 from Ali Schwagmeyer, they would fall to their cross-town rivals.

January 2 – WBB @ High Point – L, 68-56
Kelsey Wasmer scored 17 points, two off her season high, but the Charleston Southern women’s basketball team struggled shooting the ball and the Buccaneers fell to High Point University 68-56 in the Big South Conference opener. Katie Tull had 10 points, but for the first time all season did not hit a single three pointer.

January 2 – MBB vs. Presbyterian – W, 79-73 (OT)
Things looked grim for CSU to get its first Big South win, trailing by five with :35 left in the game. Jamarco Warren took over, though, and hit a pair of threes, including a 30-footer with the clock winding down, tying the game and sending it into overtime. The defense had it from there as PC hit just one field goal in the five minute overtime period, while Jeremy Sexton had a trio of layups for CSU to push them to the win.
