A Look at the Wildcats
The Wildcats enter Saturday's game with a 9-1 overall record with just five of those wins coming over Division-I opponents. Last season in Las Cruces, ACU beat NM State 58-46 in a sloppy game that saw neither team shoot better than 30-percent from the floor.
 
Abilene Christian is coming off a 23-10 season in which it won the Southland Conference Tournament and made an NCAA Tournament appearance. Although they've played four games against non-DI competition, the Wildcats boast a high-powered offense that averages 88.9 points per game.
 
Breanna Wright leads the way for ACU as the senior averages 15.5 points per game. Joining Wright in double-figures is Dominique Golightly (14.4) and Lexie Ducat (11.7).
