Every ounce of effort

The Wildcats opened up with a solid start; as mentioned before a Kelsey Darby 3-pointer gave ACU an 18-13 lead with 12:22 lead, which was the largest the Wildcats enjoyed. However, Emily Brister helped the Lady Buffs storm back and her two free throws with 9:31 left gave the Lady Buffs a 21-20 lead from which they've never recovered.

Holly Isaac's clearly didn't get the ball off at the buzzer of the first half, although one of the referees called it good. Luckily with monitor replay the bucket was disallowed. So instead of a 9-point lead, WT leads at half 41-35.

ACU hasn't been pressed like this all year - they are playing extremely hard and well. All things considered Brister's 19 points is the dagger thus far for the Wildcats. ACU just came out of the locker room and appear to be fired up for the second half; let's see if the energy carries over and helps ACU get its first win at the First United Bank Center.
