Clash at Save Mart Center: San Diego State Aztecs Face Fresno State Bulldogs
As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to take on the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a crucial role. The Aztecs have been showing strong form in their past games, which bodes well for their upcoming encounter.
In their last three games, the Aztecs have displayed impressive offensive capabilities. They secured victories against both the Runnin' Rebels and Broncos with significant margins, scoring 82 and 72 points respectively. Their field goal percentages in these games were above 50 percent, showcasing efficient shooting from the team. Moreover, they've demonstrated an ability to control the paint with an average of over 30 points in that area per game.
Defensively, San Diego State has also been solid. In their most recent game against UNLV's Runnin' Rebels, they managed to block five shots and steal the ball five times while grabbing a total of 42 rebounds. This defensive prowess has contributed significantly to their winning streak.
However, it's not just about defense; their assist-to-turnover ratio is indicative of smart ball-handling and good decision-making on offense. With ratios above one in all three past games – peaking at 1.28 against UNLV – it's clear that teamwork is a key part of their strategy.
The venue for this matchup could influence performance as well; playing away from home always presents additional challenges. Yet with consistent form both offensively and defensively, there is every reason for optimism among fans of San Diego State.
The upcoming game is scheduled for February 16th at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network (channel 221) as both teams vie for victory on court.
