New Mexico Lobos Set to Challenge Boise State Broncos at ExtraMile Arena

As the New Mexico Lobos prepare to face off against the Boise State Broncos at ExtraMile Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent loss. The Lobos have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games, with a notable victory against Nevada but falling short against San Diego State and UNLV.

The game against San Diego State highlighted some areas for improvement as the Lobos struggled with turnovers, committing 19 compared to just 6 assists. Their shooting from beyond the arc was also lackluster at 23 percent. However, they did excel at free throw accuracy with an impressive 91 percent completion rate.


In contrast, during their narrow win over Nevada, the Lobos demonstrated better control of the ball and improved shooting. They boasted a field goal percentage of 50 and were particularly effective from three-point range hitting 47 percent of their attempts. Additionally, they managed an assist-to-turnover ratio of nearly three-to-one.


Despite these ups and downs, one consistent strength for New Mexico has been their ability to score points off turnovers and second-chance points – something they will look to capitalize on in Boise.


Playing away from home presents its own set of challenges; however, it's worth noting that the venue's atmosphere can play a significant role in performance. The ExtraMile Arena is known for its energetic crowd which could influence both teams' performances on game day.


The upcoming match promises to be an exciting clash as both teams vie for dominance on court. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network channel 221 on March 3rd at 6:00 PM Mountain Time (venue time).
