Can Fresno State Bulldogs Rebound at Provident Credit Union Event Center?

As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to face the San Jose State Spartans at the Provident Credit Union Event Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming clash, scheduled for February 7th, promises to be a pivotal moment in the Bulldogs' season.

Analyzing past games reveals a mixed bag for Fresno State. In their last game against the Dons, they struggled with turnovers and three-point shooting, making only 17 percent from beyond the arc. They also allowed 77 points while scoring just 57 themselves. This was a significant drop-off from their performance against Portland State Vikings where they managed a closer game in overtime but still fell short by three points.

However, there's hope in their resilience as seen in their narrow victory over Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners. The Bulldogs showcased an impressive field goal percentage of 49 percent and dominated inside with points in paint contributing significantly to their win.

The key trends for Fresno State include strong two-point shooting but an area of concern is turnovers and perimeter defense. Their assists turnover ratio has been inconsistent; it was as high as 1.5 against Cal State Bakersfield but dropped to 0.33 versus San Francisco Dons.

The Provident Credit Union Event Center will test the Bulldogs' ability to adapt on the road and improve upon these statistics under pressure from San Jose's home crowd advantage.

Fans can catch this crucial matchup live on NBCS-BA channel 696 or attend in person at San Jose's venue on February 7th at what will be an early morning start time of 3:00 AM UTC (February 6th, local date).
