December 18th: One week 'til Christmas!

With only one more week until Christmas, things are getting exciting around here. We're planning out how we're going to spend the holidays, the FedEx and UPS guys are regulars at our house, and there has been quite a bit of exciting basketball in the last week.

We got our new iMac yesterday, and I just have to say: It's AMAZING! I'll leave it at that.

On Wednesday, the CSU Men went downtown and took on the The Citadel. I was really shocked at how few people were there for that game, although classes are out and the College of Charleston was playing Tennessee that night... Anyway, it was a pretty good game and the Bucs came out on top.


Pre-game introductions always involve a display of their verticals...




Here, Saah Nimley came down the court on a fast break and went down hard. It proved to be a bit of scary moment when he tried to get up and fell back down.






The Citadel was having some kind of children's night for this game, and one of the media timeouts provided what is probably my favorite image from the game.

One Friday the Lady Bucs hosted UNC-Wilmington for an 11:30 showdown that saw a Buc Dome packed full of 1st through 5th graders... it was quite the scene.








Rachelle Coward tried to get the Lady Bucs on top with this 3-pointer during the final minutes of the game, but in the end, the Seahawks proved to be too much.

Last night the Men went back downtown to take on the College of Charleston (fresh off their win over Tennessee). TD Bank Arena was full and the atmosphere was great!











The game came down to the final seconds and was thrilling the whole way. When the dust settled, the Cougars downed the Bucs, 70-68.
