As the game gets ready to get started here, I notice a few maroon shirts up in the crowd and I wonder ... who are they rooting for here? They'll either have to play the only team that's shown it can beat them or a team playing in an environment that is, essentially, a home game.

That's assuming a WT win, of course, but I think that's a safe assumtion.

In-game next ...

Abilene Christian vs. Central Oklahoma

Central got off to a hot start and five minutes in had the Wildcats doubled up, 10-5, thanks in large part to five ACU turnovers.

Just past the midpoint of the first half it was a 17-9 UCO lead, and ACU was shooting just 29 percent from the floor.

The poor shooting continued. Trailing 27-15 with eight minutes to play in the half, the Wildcats went almost six minutes without a point and their shooting percentage slipped to 25.9 percent.

Christina Yarbrough hit a trey as the buzzer sounded, give UCO even more momentum going into the locker room, with UCO up 38-23.

And not much to say about the second half ... just the same as the first. ACU was on its heels on both sides of the floor and couldn't hit a shot anywhere. Not a good showing by the Cats and the worst time of the year to play your worst game of the year.

I think ACU should probably be in the regional tournament, but I don't think they will be at this point without the win here today.
