Boise State Broncos Set to Battle New Mexico Lobos at The Pit
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. Analyzing past performances and statistics, it's clear that the Broncos have been demonstrating a remarkable offensive prowess that could very well carry them through in their upcoming game.
In their last game on December 22nd against Washington State Cougars, despite a close loss of 61-66, BSU showed resilience and an ability to maintain pressure throughout both halves. However, they will need to improve on their field goal percentage which stood at 36 percent and three-point shooting accuracy which was just 25 percent. Their defense managed to secure 37 rebounds but will need more aggression against the Lobos who are known for their tenacity on home turf.
BSU's performance was significantly better during their December 17th game where they dominated Cal State Fullerton Titans with an impressive score of 88-65. Their field goal percentage soared to approximately 49 percent and they excelled from beyond the arc with a three-point shooting accuracy of around 44 percent. This level of execution from downtown could be pivotal in overcoming UNM's defense.
The most telling statistic comes from BSU's December 13th victory over Northwestern State Demons where they triumphed with a staggering scoreline of 95-54. The Broncos showcased an exceptional two-point field goal percentage at about 80 percent and maintained strong defensive rebounds totaling up at around forty-two.
While these past games highlight BSU’s potential offensive dominance, it is crucial not to underestimate UNM’s home advantage playing at The Pit – an arena notorious for its intimidating atmosphere that can unsettle even the most seasoned teams.
The upcoming clash is set for February first with tip-off scheduled for late evening local time. Fans looking forward to this matchup should mark their calendars as this game will be broadcast nationally on Fox Sports one channel two hundred nineteen. With both teams gearing up for what could be one of the season’s most memorable games, all eyes will be on whether Boise State can translate their statistical advantages into another win or if New Mexico’s home court advantage will prove too much for them.
