ABILENE – Abilene Christian men's basketball fans get a free glimpse of the team on Saturday when the Wildcats host Arlington Baptist at 2 p.m.

ACU, which launches the regular season on Nov. 6 at Oklahoma State, squares off Saturday with a team that returns five players from last year's six-win team.

J'son Murray, Kaden Ferrell, Maurice Walker, Aaryn Medina and Jordan Williams all return to ABC with varsity experience. Former Abilene High member Jeremiah Talib is a freshman for the Patriots this season. The team is coached by former Texas Tech standout Bubba Jennings.

ACU is 7-0 all-time against ABC and has twice reached 100 points.

ACU returns five players who started at least six games last season, including leading scorer Immanuel Allen (10.8 ppg) at guard, leading shot-blocker Airion Simmons and guard Ali Abdou Dibba, who all averaged more than nine points per game. Hunter Jack Madden and Cameron Steele return with a combined 18 starts.
