Lobos Set to Lock Horns with Aztecs in San Diego Showdown
As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to face the San Diego State Aztecs at Viejas Arena, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter. The Lobos have been on a commendable trajectory, showcasing their prowess in recent games. Their last outing against the Anteaters ended with a convincing 78-65 victory, where they demonstrated their defensive mettle with nine steals and five blocks while maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.11.
The team's offensive capabilities were also on full display as they shot 39 percent from the field and an impressive 75 percent from the free-throw line, indicating their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. Furthermore, their points off turnovers stood at 21, highlighting their skill in converting defensive plays into offensive success.
In another notable performance against the Aggies, despite a close scoreline of 73-72 in favor of the Lobos, they managed to maintain a solid field goal percentage of 44 percent and showcased aggressive defense with 14 steals. However, there is room for improvement as they only made half of their free throws and had an assists-to-turnover ratio below one.
