New Mexico State Aggies Set to Battle Northern Colorado Bears at Pan American Center

As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the Northern Colorado Bears at the Pan American Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. The Aggies have been on a roll, and their recent performances suggest that they are more than ready to take on their opponents.

In their last game on November 15 against Western New Mexico Mustangs, the Aggies dominated with a resounding 78-43 victory. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an impressive 44 percent from the field and an even more remarkable 50 percent from beyond the arc. The team's free throw accuracy was also noteworthy, hitting nearly 87 percent of their shots from the line. With such efficient scoring and a strong defensive effort that held the Mustangs to just 24 percent shooting, NMSU showcased their ability to control both ends of the court.

The Aggies' performance wasn't just about scoring; it was also about teamwork and discipline. They dished out 18 assists while turning over the ball only five times, demonstrating excellent ball movement and decision-making. This kind of playmaking will be crucial against UNCO.

While NMSU has been thriving offensively, they've also proven themselves defensively in previous games. Against Sul Ross State Lobos on November 9, NMSU forced a staggering 20 turnovers while grabbing nine steals which translated into easy transition points.

However, it would be unwise to underestimate UNCO who will come into this game looking for an upset. The Bears have had time to prepare and will certainly aim to disrupt NMSU's rhythm with strategic plays and tight defense.

Despite this potential challenge from UNCO, there is every reason for optimism among Aggie fans based on recent statistics alone – but basketball isn't played on paper; it's won on the court where anything can happen.

The upcoming battle is set for November 19 at Pan American Center in Las Cruces at what equates to a local start time of 7:00 PM MST due to daylight saving adjustments from UTC time provided in data format (2:00 AM +00:00). Fans eager not miss any action can tune in via ESPN+ online broadcast network for live coverage of what promises be another thrilling chapter in NMSU basketball history.
