Tidbits for ACU's women's game against Angelo State

Angelo State and Abilene Christian are known for their back-and-forth battles, especially since Shawna Lavender took over the Wildcats. Beginning with the 2003-04 season in Lavender's first full season, ACU is 4-4 against the Rambelles in the regular season and 4-5 overall. The Wildcats lost their only matchup with ASU in the LSC Postseason Tournament in 2005. ACU has split the season series the past two season.

• Audrey Maxwell-Lively is 13 points shy of tying Ashley King (2002-06) for 15th on the school's all-time scoring list. King compiled 1,253 points in four seasons for ACU.
• Kat Kundmueller is four assists shy of 300 for her career. The junior point guard is among the nation's leaders in assists this season at nearly seven per game.

On to Kingsville

I hope there aren't people out there still hitting the refresh button waiting for the end result of the men's game. If you were, sorry, here's the release after West Texas pulled away for a 77-63 victory over ACU last night.

Sometimes things get hectic on the road, and I basically forgot to make another blog post before Grant and I hit the road.

Both the men and the women played well in spurts, but West Texas A&M continues to be a tough team to beat in Canyon. Both teams will try to rebound after 1-1 starts in the LSC South Division Wednesday with games against Texas A&M-Kingsville.

Here's a small men's photo gallery from the Jan. 3 loss to Texas A&M Commerce.

Also, with all the live blog posts from last night, don't forget to pay attention to the fact that Incarnate Word has joined the Lone Star Conference. See Lance's blog on the situation.

ACU lead short lived

WT scored the first bucket of the second half to go up 37-30, the Wildcats responded with a 10-0 run thanks to six points from Dejan Sencanski and three steals from Dante Adams. After leading 40-37, WT countered with a 3-pointer to tie the score.

A few buckets later and the first media timeout of the second half, the score is tied at 45.

Men down five at half

Milos Klimovic hit a 3-pointer with 2:55 to cap a 13-2 run by the Wildcats after trailing 29-17. ACU was down 31-30 at that point before WTAMU scored four-straight points to lead 35-30 at half.

Dante Adams has matched his season average int he first half with 12 points, Nick Burns leads WT with nine points.

ACU men trying to keep it close

After three different occasions where West Texas A&M built at least a 10-point lead, ACU's men continue to claw back into the game. Most recently with 4:01 remaining, Kendrick Johnson scored on a pick-and-roll play on a feed from Riley Lambert cutting the lead to four points at 31-27.
