Well, we aren't quite to conference play, but at least we are back to DI play against our future conference opponent. UIW is 1-7, but has a decent offense. They just have trouble stopping those they play. Now, they have played some decent schools, but they also lost to DIII Concordia before finally beating NAIA OLLU. Coach Tanner says that UIW always plays tough against us. How well do you expect us to stop them and what are your expectations against them?

When I was manager for ACU, Golding said don’t get too relaxed due to their record even if it’s a losing one. They will come out swinging.

Do we expect to significantly slow them down? I would hope so. In reality, I don't know as we have even let the DIII schools score more on us than I thought at times. I would think that we start to see the rotations that Tanner will be using in conference. I am curious about that though.

It is time to put the hammer down and play a great game on all fronts. We have been building up cohesion playing lower-level teams, now it is time to pull it all together and play an outstanding game. UIW is near the bottom of D1 basketball schools, but a smashing victory would be another step of the ladder of building the team chemistry we need going into more serious play. Time for Wildcats to play a great game.

It is amazing how weak UIW is in basketball. ACU up 55-27 at halftime.

Forced 20 turnovers, only gave up 9, crushed them on the boards, and shot very well. Good game before a week off for finals.

over-all a good performance and still spreading the ball around. I thought that Gai had a better game. the crow was good and the band was back. It was really a great atmosphere. I still wish our defense was stronger. It's doing well, but doesn't seem as dominant.
