HUNTSVILLE - Less than 48 hours after a 14-point road loss at Incarnate Word, the ACU Wildcats are back on the Southland Conference road for a contest against old rival Sam Houston State.
The Wildcats and Bearkats are set to tip off Monday at 6 p.m. from Johnson Coliseum in a game that will be televised nationally on the American Sports Network. The game can also be heard on 98.1 FM The Ticket with The Voice of the Wildcats Grant Boone calling the action on the radio.
David Saltzman will call play-by-play on the television broadcast with former Baylor head coach Jim Haller providing the analysis. The game will be broadcast on KIDZ (MyNetwork, channel 15.2 over the air), channel 116 on Suddenlink and channel 42 on DirecTV. Nationally the game will be broadcast on the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network, channel 640 on DirecTV and channel 432 on Dish Network.
The Bearkats are 20-18 all-time against the Wildcats and have won the last three games against the Wildcats since ACU moved to NCAA Division I affiliation in 2013-14. ACU's last win over Sam Houston State came in the third-place game of the NCAA regional tournament at the end of the 1985-86 season.
A Wildcat win Monday night would give ACU four conference wins in 2015-16, equaling last year's total in 18 games. The Wildcats are 9-29 in conference play since they rejoined the Southland Conference prior to the 2013-14 season (2-12 in 2013-14 and 4-14 in 2014-15) with only two of those wins coming on the road: a win at Northwestern State in January 2015 and a win at Central Arkansas on Jan. 2, 2016.
