Boise State Broncos to Face Fresno State Bulldogs at Save Mart Center
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans are eager for what promises to be an electrifying match-up. The Broncos have been on a rollercoaster this season, but their recent performances suggest they're finding their rhythm at just the right time.
In their last game on December 22 against Washington State Cougars, BSU fell short by a mere five points in a nail-biter that ended 61-66. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways for the team. They managed to secure 37 rebounds and showed tenacity in defense with five steals and three blocks. However, shooting was an issue; they only hit 36 percent from the field and a disappointing 25 percent from beyond the arc.
Contrastingly, when BSU played Cal State Fullerton Titans on December 17 at home, they dominated with an impressive score of 88-65. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot nearly 50 percent from the field and an exceptional 44 percent from three-point range. The team also showcased its depth with contributions across the board – tallying up nineteen assists which speaks volumes about their teamwork and ball movement.
The most telling performance came during their encounter with Northwestern State Demons on December 13 where BSU put up a staggering ninety-five points while shooting almost sixty percent from the field. Their two-point shooting was particularly remarkable at eighty percent accuracy which indicates that when they get inside or find mid-range opportunities, they can be lethal.
Looking ahead to their upcoming game against FRES, it's clear that if BSU can harness their demonstrated offensive capabilities and tighten up defensively – particularly beyond the perimeter – they stand a good chance of coming out on top. The Bulldogs will certainly not make it easy; any team playing in front of its home crowd at Save Mart Center is bound to put up a fierce fight.
The key for Boise State will be consistency in execution and maintaining composure under pressure – something that has been tested throughout this season but seems to be solidifying as we move forward.
Fans should mark their calendars for January 23rd when these two teams clash under bright lights starting at 7:30 PM PST (10:30 PM EST). It's set to be broadcasted nationally on Fox Sports channel number two hundred nineteen so no one has to miss out on what could potentially be one of Boise States' most defining games this season.
