Fresno State Bulldogs to Battle Nevada Wolf Pack at Save Mart Center

As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to host the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Save Mart Center, fans can anticipate an intense matchup. The Bulldogs have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their recent games, which will undoubtedly influence their approach against Nevada.

In their last outing against Air Force, the Bulldogs secured a victory with 74 points, demonstrating a strong offensive performance with an impressive 65 percent shooting from two-point range and a staggering 94 percent from the free-throw line. Their ability to capitalize on turnovers was evident as they scored 31 points off turnovers. However, they struggled beyond the arc with only a 15 percent three-point shooting percentage.

The previous home game saw a narrow defeat to Colorado State where Fresno State put up 57 points. Despite losing, they showed tenacity on defense with six steals and four blocks while maintaining over half of their shots made from inside the arc. Yet again, three-point shooting was not on par as they shot just under 22 percent.

Against San Diego State's formidable defense ranked in the top twenty-one nationally at that time, Fresno's offense was stifled; managing only 43 points indicates that when faced with high-caliber defenses, scoring becomes challenging for them.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for Fresno State to leverage its strong two-point scoring ability while addressing its three-point struggles. Playing at home should provide some advantage – historically teams perform better in familiar settings – but it will be crucial for them to maintain defensive intensity and convert opportunities into points effectively if they are to come out on top.

Fans can catch this exciting encounter scheduled for February 25th at Save Mart Center in Fresno. The game will be broadcasted nationally on Fox Sports 1 (channel number:219), ensuring supporters won't miss any action whether attending or watching from afar.
