Bulldogs Set to Battle Miners in El Paso Showdown

As the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs prepare to face off against the UTEP Miners at the Don Haskins Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Bulldogs have shown a mix of outcomes in their past performances, with a notable victory and some close calls.

In their last game against Liberty Flames, despite a strong start leading by seven points at halftime, the Bulldogs fell short by three points with a final score of 62-65. Their field goal percentage was solid at 52 percent, but turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 19 times.

The previous encounter saw them on home turf against Western Kentucky Hilltoppers where they put up an impressive fight but were edged out with a score of 76-81. They managed to keep personal fouls low and had an assist-turnover ratio above one, which is promising for ball control and teamwork.

However, it was the game before that which showcased what the Bulldogs are capable of when firing on all cylinders. Dominating Florida International Panthers with a staggering 93-53 victory away from home showed their offensive prowess. They shot an exceptional 62 percent from the field and converted all free throw attempts while also maintaining high energy on defense with steals and blocks contributing to easy transition points.

The upcoming match promises to be challenging as they take on UTEP in their own den. The Bulldogs will need to leverage their high-scoring ability while tightening up defensively to reduce turnovers and personal fouls that have previously hindered them.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for February 23rd at 8:00 PM Central Time at Don Haskins Center in El Paso or stream it live on ESPN+. With both teams looking to assert dominance in conference play, this game is not one to be missed.
