Bearkats Set to Battle Aggies at Pan American Center

As the Sam Houston State Bearkats prepare to face off against the New Mexico State Aggies, fans are eager to see if the Bearkats can bounce back from their recent performances. The upcoming clash, set in the Pan American Center, promises to be a pivotal moment for the team.

In their last three games, trends have emerged that could influence their strategy against the Aggies. The Bearkats have shown resilience in scoring within the paint and from fast breaks, with 38 points in paint and 18 fast break points in one game alone. However, consistency has been an issue; while they achieved a 53 percent success rate on two-point attempts during one match, they've also seen games with lower field goal percentages of 42 and 38 percent.

Turnovers have been a thorn in their side; with 16 turnovers across each of these games, ball control will undoubtedly be a point of emphasis in practice sessions leading up to this game. On a positive note, free throw accuracy has been strong for Sam Houston State – hitting an impressive 79 percent and 80 percent in two separate contests.

Defensively speaking, steals have fluctuated but peaked at eight steals recently which shows potential for disrupting New Mexico State's offense. Rebounding is another area where they've held steady numbers but will need to focus on outperforming an Aggie team that may capitalize on any rebounding weaknesses.

The venue could play a role as well; playing away at the Pan American Center might present additional challenges for Sam Houston State. They'll need every ounce of focus and determination to overcome any home-court advantage held by New Mexico State.

Fans can catch all the action live on February 23rd at 02:00 AM GMT (February 22nd local time) on CBS Sports Network channel number two hundred twenty-one. Will Sam Houston State rise above recent struggles or will New Mexico's home advantage prove too much? Only time will tell as we await tip-off with bated breath.
