Buccaneer BasketBlog - Kiki Rutledge - November 17, 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.

What’s up Buccaneer Peeps! How’s everything going out there? I hope well, this past week we started our official games. Man, I can’t tell you how happy I am to step back on the court! We started off with Erskine College on Saturday and went to sleep with a victory under our belts, 101-54. That was the highest scoring game since 2002; we are already starting to make history. On Sunday, we played Clemson University, but fell to them by 33 points. A good thing about the visit to Clemson is my family got to finally see my play for the first time since my freshman year. I was out all last season with an acl injury. The loss to Clemson opened our eyes to the things we need to do a lot better. We worked hard to fix those things in Monday’s practice in order to grab another win on Tuesday against Voorhees College 96-63. It is a lot of work having three games in four days, but also a lot of fun going out to battle with one of the best teams I have ever played on. Playing three games in four days forces us to become physically and mentally tough, which together makes us stronger than our opponents. It will be a huge help for our team when we travel to Lubbock, Texas next week for a Thanksgiving tournament when we play Texas Tech, Sam Houston State, and American on back-to-back-to-back days. I have already seen an improvement in our team within the past week and I am excited to see what conference play has in store for us. Well, that’s all I have for now fans. Come support us and get Buc Wild!!!!!
