Fresno State Bulldogs Set to Host Boise State Broncos at Save Mart Center

As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to host the Boise State Broncos at the Save Mart Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and home-court advantage could play significant roles. The Bulldogs have shown a mixed bag of results in their past performances, with their latest outing against the San Francisco Dons ending in a 57-77 defeat. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways, such as their impressive 63 percent shooting from two-point range and securing 28 rebounds.

However, turnovers have been a thorn in the side for Fresno State; they gave up possession 18 times against San Francisco. This is an area that will need tightening up if they are to capitalize on their home-court advantage against Boise State. In contrast, during their overtime battle with Portland State Vikings at home, the Bulldogs managed to keep turnovers down to 13 while posting a solid field goal percentage of approximately 46 percent.

The team's resilience was on display when they overcame Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners in a close encounter that ended with a narrow victory of 61-58. The Bulldogs' defense was crucial as they blocked shots and limited second-chance points effectively.

Looking ahead to the upcoming match-up with Boise State Broncos, maintaining strong defensive pressure and efficient scoring inside will be key factors for Fresno State. The Save Mart Center has proven to be a fortress for them before – evident by their ability to pull through tight games – and it could once again provide that extra push towards victory.

Fans eager to support the Bulldogs can catch them in action on January 24th at Fox Sports 1 channel number 219. Tip-off is scheduled for January 23rd at local time (January 24th at UTC).
