The first time I saw Aspen shoot a jump shot while in the air moving sideways to the basket, I thought wow! That is not something many can do but she has done it several times. Martin is a fine one as well and plays larger than her size. I wish Bella would shoot a few mid range junpers. Her 3's are majestic things NASA would be happy with. Maleeah will be missed next year. I wish we had a strong big underneath and that we could play Thornton and Jackson at the same time for at least half the game.

A win is a win. Most valuable player was Aspen Thornton. She’s a good one. I want it in her hands at the end more. That steal by her near the end was incredible. Play of the game.

I think our TV productions are very good, but would like to see more diversity of content when away from the play by play. ACU TV is not the only thing going on at ACU. I thought SHSU had some nice cut aways and I think their announcers did a fairly good job -- better than most I would say. They complimented ACU a lot. So I agree with the SFA guy who suggested ACU's video and production was something others need to step up to, but I sure wish we featured more of the amazing things going on at ACU during the breaks.
The girls tonight held it together and did not quit. Overall a fine game and we seem to be coming together at the right time for the tourney. Lets get another win and head to Vegas with some momentum.

I believe that is the worst half of basketball I've seen this team play. Terrible shooting. Get the ball to Martin!!

It was a bad game all the way around. Luckily Seattle didn't play any better and we walked away with a win. It doesn't leave one very hopeful for Vegas, but at least we are a young team with plenty of room to grow.

I was at the game... it would have been better had I stayed home and played XBox. Watching the game was difficult. We did not play up to our capability and the officials really were the worst I have seen in many years. They made mistakes, mistakes, and more mistakes. But a bright spot was once again when we needed a steal, Thornton came through and stripped the ball. Maddy made some critical 3 pointers that saved the night. Martin played a solid game. Most don't notice the contribution of Bella but she can really rebound and play defense, and her rainbows are heart warming threes. Bella can jump! Maleeah is quick and solid, we will miss her next year just as the steady hand of Maddy will move on. But I am excited about this team for its fight, and looking forward to the many possibilities of next year as our young players mature. I hope we can make some progress in the tournament but that depends on which team shows up. Cheering on this year's Ladies is a lot of fun. They really do celebrate each other.

Great start by Lady Wildcats at the tourney. They are up 15-6 on SHSU 5 minutes into game. And up 21-11 to start 2nd quarter. And up 40-32 at the half. Passing was a little loose but the ladies are playing very well.

We are missing too many layups--5 and counting right now. These are wide open.

2 more missed layups. But have yourself a game Maleeah Langstaff--24 points thru 3 qts. She definitely does not want her season to end today.

Heart breaking loss to SHSU 81-82. ACU had a 15 point lead with under 6 minutes to play.

Unbelieveable!!! Good game by the Cats. To come up short is so sad.

OUCH!!!
Up by 15 (72-57) with 5:45 left in the game and get outscored 25-10 in the final 4:45 to lose 82-81. Cats outscored 32-21 in the fourth quarter. UGLY!
Good season girls!

I have not seen many games this year, but I simply do not know how ACU lost this one. I hate that Maleeah and Madi finish their careers on a loss like this. I wanted so badly to watch ACU send the SHSU women off to the "big-time" with a humiliating loss!!
