Fresno State Bulldogs to Host San Diego State Aztecs at Save Mart Center
As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to welcome the San Diego State Aztecs to the Save Mart Center, fans are eager for what promises to be a gripping encounter. The Bulldogs have been showing a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, which could make for an unpredictable game.
In their last game against Nevada's Wolf Pack, the Bulldogs fell short despite a valiant effort, scoring 66 points. Their shooting from beyond the arc was decent at 31 percent but was overshadowed by their opponents' more efficient offense. The team also struggled with personal fouls and turnovers which ultimately cost them the game.
However, looking back at their previous home game against San Jose State's Spartans, Fresno State demonstrated resilience and an ability to close out games. They notched up 70 points with impressive accuracy from three-point range — hitting two-thirds of their attempts — and showcased a solid defense with seven blocks.
The trend continued in another past matchup where they scored an impressive 82 points against UNLV's Runnin' Rebels while maintaining high shooting efficiency both from two-point range (47 percent) and three-point range (53 percent). Despite this offensive prowess, turnovers were again an issue that they will need to address before facing off against the Aztecs.
The Save Mart Center has been a fortress for Fresno State; its atmosphere can certainly influence games in favor of the home side. With strong support behind them, it could provide that extra push needed for victory.
Fans can catch all the action on February 16th at 4:00 AM UTC on CBS Sports Network channel 221 as these two teams battle it out on court. Will Fresno be able to leverage its home-court advantage and shooting strengths while tightening up defense? Only time will tell as we look forward to this exciting matchup.
