What to Know

Tarleton State has enjoyed a two-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Abilene Chr. Wildcats will face off in a WAC battle at 8:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at Moody Coliseum. Abilene Chr. took a loss in their last matchup and will be looking to turn the tables on Tarleton State, who comes in off a win.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you work as a team to post 11 more assists than your opponent, a fact Tarleton State proved on Saturday. They took down the Trailblazers 86-68.

Meanwhile, the point spread may have favored Abilene Chr. last Saturday, but the final result did not. They took a hard 82-67 fall against the Thunderbirds. The contest was a 33-33 toss-up at halftime, but Abilene Chr. couldn't quite close it out.

Abilene Chr. struggled to work together and finished the game with only six assists. That's the fewest assists they've managed all season.

The Texans have been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four contests, which provided a nice bump to their 13-7 record this season. As for the Wildcats, their defeat ended a five-game streak of wins at home and dropped them to 8-12.

While only Abilene Chr. took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking ahead, Abilene Chr. is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by two points. This contest will be their fourth straight at home (so far over this stretch they are 2-1 against the spread).

Tarleton State beat the Wildcats 79-71 when the teams last played two weeks ago. The rematch might be a little tougher for Tarleton State since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
