USSA 2009 day 1

April 7, 2009 in USSA

With the start of the 2009 USSA tournament marred by the news of a road accident suffered by the Rhodes Ladies team on their way to Pretoria, shock and disbelief was the order of the day amongst some of the participants. There were no fatalities to the players but some of them ended up in hospital with serious injuries and bruises. Their subsequent withdrawal from the event left the organisers with plenty of rescheduling to do.

The CUT ladies team also had some tragic news to deal with following the passing of one of their teammates last week but they managed to make the trip and honour her memory.

Despite all the sad news, the event was officially opened by the USSA executive with all the teams and officials gathered at the LC de Villiers indoor in the afternoon of the first day.

University of Pretoria Men’s team SASSU/USSA diary 2008

July 15, 2008 in Basketball Diaries, League, USSA

Day 1 – Sunday 29 June 2008

After months of anticipation, our trip to Cape Town for the most prestigious student basketball tournament has arrived. Last night we had a send-off braai filled with much needed bonding involving both the mens’ and the womens’ first teams. Although the trip down was unnecessarily lengthy – we left at 1:00 AM and we arrived at about 19:00 PM – the spirits remained high as we arrived to a warm welcome form the hosts. After getting our game schedule, however, we were shocked to see that our first game is against UJ at 11 oclock tomorrow morning. But anyways, as they say “we gotta do what we gotta do”.

What time is it? Game time baby!! Read the rest of this entry →
