Weekly Recap - December 27, 2010 - January 2, 2011

Happy 2011 to all the Buccaneer fans out there. Hopefully you were able to rest during the holiday break and are ready for a great year of CSU athletics and honoring God in all that you do.

Jamarco Warren has been named the CSU athlete of the week after averaging 24 points per game in three contests this past week, including one on the road at Georgia.

The senior guard dropped 24 points in each of the three games leading the Bucs to a 2-1 record during that time, with two wins coming in Big South Conference play. It is his sixth 20-point game of the season and the 10th time in 15 games in which he has scored at least 10 points.

Also nominate: Kelsey Wasmer (Women’s Basketball)

December 28 – MBB @ Georgia – L, 70-55
Jamarco Warren led the charge with his 24 points, adding three assists, but a stagnant Buc offense show below 30 percent for the game and a 50 percent effort from the SEC opponent proved too much. Kelvin Martin had a team-high six nine rebounds for CSU. UGA jumped out to an 22-9 lead midway through the first half, and although the Bucs looked strong in the second period, couldn’t overcome the deficit.

December 31 – WBB vs. College of Charleston – W, 86-74
What a great way to end the year and the non-conference slate as the women’s basketball team took down the College of Charleston in front of a great home crowd on New Year’s Eve. Four Buccaneers scored in double figures for CSU, led by Kelsey Wasmer’s team-high 21 points adding seven rebounds. Lakeitha Also and Anicia Dotson added 18 and 11, respectively, inside for CSU while Kiki Rutledge had 16. The Bucs held a 45-34 lead at halftime, after shooting 46 percent and forcing 11 CofC turnovers.

December 31 – MBB vs. High Point – W, 77-69
The Big South home opener for CSU, the Bucs put three in double figures and caught fire in the second half to earn the first Big South victory over the year. CSU shot better than 50 percent in the second half, after holding a four-point halftime lead. Kelvin Martin earned a double-double with 14 points and 15 rebounds, while Jamarco Warren scored 24, despite holding a 3-7 mark behind the 3-point line. The victory evened the team’s record overall (7-7) and in Big South play (1-1) and gave them a chance to get over .500 two days later against Radford.

January 2 – MBB vs. Radford – W, 73-58
The three starting guards for CSU combined to account for 49 of the team’s 73 points (64 percent), with all three scoring in double figures as CSU dominated the Highlanders to give the Bucs a winning record overall and in the Big South this year. It is the first time since 2002 that the Bucs have started 8-7, also doing so in 1996.
