Tonight, the Aggies continue their season opening basketball blitz of 4 games in 8 days, welcoming the Abilene Christian Wildcats to Reed Arena for a 7:00 PM tip. While casual basketball fans may see this as another non-conference cupcake payoff game against a small in-state school, I urge you to think back to March of this year when the Wildcats made their presence in the NCAA tournament known.
While head coach Joe Golding left ACU to take the reigns at UTEP, he was succeeded by his former associate head coach, Brette Tanner. Tanner will look to provide some continuity of leadership for a squad that returns of 10 players from last year’s Southland Conference championship team.
