Can Fresno State Bulldogs Rebound at Lawlor Events Center?

As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Lawlor Events Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The Bulldogs have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, with a notable struggle on the road.

In their most recent game against Boise State Broncos, the Bulldogs fell short with 66 points compared to Boise State's commanding 90 points. Despite shooting 42 percent from the field and 37 percent from beyond the arc, they were outmatched by Boise State's impressive 59 percent field goal shooting and a staggering 74 percent two-point percentage. The Bulldogs' defense allowed too many points in paint and failed to contain fast breaks.

However, when playing at home against UNLV Runnin' Rebels just days before, Fresno State showed resilience despite a narrow loss of 65-67. They managed an improved field goal percentage of 47 and free throw accuracy stood strong at 78 percent. Their defensive efforts were highlighted by eight steals but ultimately weren't enough to secure victory.

Earlier in February during an away game versus Air Force Falcons, turnovers proved costly for Fresno despite winning with a scoreline of 68-66. A high turnover count of nineteen overshadowed their otherwise efficient shooting night where they hit an impressive 57 percent from the field and converted on eight out of thirteen three-point attempts.

The upcoming game presents another challenging road environment for Fresno State as they look to improve upon these mixed results. With past performances indicating potential vulnerabilities especially in defensive consistency and ball handling under pressure, it will be crucial for them to tighten up defensively and manage possessions more carefully if they hope to come away with a win in Reno.
