“We have to go games and miss classes while they’re in class, and we still have to catch up.” That’s just one of the many obstacles freshman guard Alexis Brown reeled off that she and her teammates go through while they travel across the Southeast to play Sun Belt basketball.
Since the Georgia Southern University women’s basketball team settled into conference play, they have become accustomed to playing games on every Thursday and Saturday. The girls know that when they have a road trip, they are usually leaving on Wednesday around noon.
Senior Alexis Sams says the first thing she does when the Wednesday to hit the road is approaching, is start packing two days in advance.
