Time for a little round ball

Wildcat fans put your football handkerchiefs away and get out your high-tops. Maybe watch Hoosiers to get you back in the mood. Possibly overshadowed by ACU's football playoff run, the men's and women's basketball teams are in full swing and will have several games over the holidays including three apiece at Moody Coliseum.

See the Women's Basketball Photo Gallery vs. Southeastern on 12/6

The women fell to Southeastern Oklahoma State 68-58 Saturday afternoon and shot just 32 percent in the loss. Monday, the first half against East Central began much like the first. However, key play from Kat Kudmueller, Kristee Davidson (pictured) and Courtney Laing sparked a second-half comeback after ACU trailed by 10 at half time. The win evened the women's record at 3-3. Head coach Shawna Lavender and the Wildcats are off until Monday at 6 p.m. when ACU plays host to Incarnate Word. Then, the women take to a 3-game road trip (12/17 at Cameron, 12/19 at SW Okla. State, 12/31 at Incarnate Word). Then, Wildcat fans will get a chance to bring in the new year by watching the Wildcats play host to Texas A&M-Commerce Jan. 3 at 2 p.m. and Texas Woman's Jan. 5 at 6 p.m.

I'm currently watching the Wildcats play an up-tempo game with East Central and Jason Copeland's Wildcats are up 44-28 as the first half winds down. The Wildcats had an impressive 86-69 win over Southeastern Oklahoma State Saturday and are looking to improve to 4-3 if ACU can keep up the score against East Central. A week from today (12/15) the Wildcats will play host to UTPB before facing Southwestern Oklahoma State Dec. 19 on the road.

On New Year's Day, Wildcat fans can see ACU renew an old rivalry against Howard Payne University at Moody Coliseum at 3 p.m. The Yellow Jackets are an NCAA Division III school from Brownwood. Then, Jan. 3 the Wildcats play host to Texas A&M-Commerce at 4 p.m.

For those of you who don't remember, each team went to the LSC semi-finals last year and are looking to make a deeper run in 2008-09
