Clash at The Pit: Fresno State Bulldogs vs New Mexico Lobos
As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to face off against the New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Bulldogs, coming off a narrow defeat against the Nevada Wolf Pack with a score of 56-60 on February 25th, will be looking to bounce back and secure a victory.
In their last game, Fresno State showcased resilience and determination. Despite falling short by four points, they outrebounded the Wolf Pack with 32 rebounds compared to Nevada's 25. However, turnovers were a significant issue for FRES as they gave up possession 17 times which translated into crucial points for their opponents. Their three-point shooting was also lackluster at just 26 percent from beyond the arc.
The upcoming match presents an opportunity for FRES to refine their strategy and execution. They must capitalize on their ability to win rebounds and convert them into scoring opportunities while reducing turnovers that have previously hampered their performance.
On the other hand, New Mexico Lobos will not make it easy for them. Playing at home provides UNM with an advantage that FRES cannot overlook. The Bulldogs need to maintain defensive pressure throughout the game and improve upon their assist-to-turnover ratio which stood at just 0.67 in their last outing.
Looking back further into FRES's season reveals both strengths and areas needing improvement. On February 22nd against Air Force Falcons, they managed an impressive victory with a score of 74-69 showcasing an excellent field goal percentage of nearly 53 percent alongside dominating points in paint tallying up to 52 points.
The key takeaway from past performances is that when FRES plays aggressively and efficiently inside while keeping control of the ball, they can overpower any defense put before them.
With this analysis in mind, it is clear that if Fresno State can focus on maintaining possession and exploiting its rebounding prowess while improving perimeter shooting accuracy, there is every chance they could emerge victorious against UNM.
