It is officially finals week here on campus, which means it will be a quiet week in terms of athletics. Both teams were in action last week, though, but we’ll get to that in a minute.
Alston had nine points, two assists and two rebounds despite foul trouble against South Carolina, beating the bigger Gamecock forwards with her quickness. She followed that up with 21 points on the road at Furman, adding five rebounds as well.
Also nominated: Kelvin Martin (Men’s Basketball)
November 30 – MBB vs. Toccoa Falls – W, 120-43
Zimmy Nwogbo had his first career double-double and was one of six Bucs to score in double figures as CSU blew out Toccoa Falls, a team who showed up with seven players on the roster. It was good experience for the younger players, and they took advantage of it, scoring 66 points off the bench. The victory nearly set program records for points (141) and margin of victory (84). The Bucs finished the game shooting almost 60 percent from the field, and hit 13 of 23 three point attempts (56.5 percent). Every player who got in the game for CSU scored at least two points and had at least one rebound.
December 1 – WBB @ South Carolina – L, 75-53
Unlike the men’s game against TFC, this women’s score against USC wasn’t really indicative of the game, as CSU hung around for the majority of the game. In fact, midway through the first half it was just a one point game, and the lead was as low as seven points midway through the second half. Foul trouble hurt CSU, though, as Kelsey Wasmer picked up a couple of early fouls, and then Lakeitha Alston (4), Katie Tull (4), and Helen Terry (3) all had foul trouble as well.
December 4 – WBB @ Furman – L, 71-70
CSU overcame an 11 point halftime lead and tied the game late, but a free throw by Furman’s Kaitlin Murphy proved the final scoring of the day as Furman held on for the victory. Despite stellar performances from Katie Tull (24 points) and Lakeitha Alston (21 points), the Bucs could not get a shot off in the final minute of play, turning the ball over twice. Kelsey Wasmer added 10 rebounds and three assists, but only managed four points.
December 4 – MBB @ Coastal Carolina – L, 73-71
If Saturday’s game was any indication of how Big South play will look, fans should start buying tickets immediately! What a game between CSU and preseason favorite Coastal Carolina. The Bucs staged a furious comeback and tied the game with less than 10 seconds, thinking they were destined for OT with all the momentum. Chad Gray ended the hopes on a dunk with 1.7 seconds left that gave the Chanticleers the victory. Kelvin Martin shot 60 percent (6-10) and had a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Jeremy Sexton had 14 points and Jamarco Warren overcame a tough start to finish with 11 points.
