Clash at Viejas Arena: San Diego State Aztecs to Host Colorado State Rams

As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to host the Colorado State Rams at Viejas Arena, fans are anticipating a thrilling encounter. The Aztecs have been showcasing a solid performance in their recent games, with an evident trend of strong defensive plays and an aggressive offense.

In their last outing against Fresno State Bulldogs, the Aztecs secured a narrow victory with 45 points to 43. Despite shooting at only 33 percent from the field and 50 percent from the free-throw line, they managed to pull through thanks to their tenacious defense that included six blocks and ten steals. Their rebounding was also commendable with a total of 34 rebounds.

The game prior saw an impressive offensive display by the Aztecs against UNLV's Runnin' Rebels, where they scored 82 points while shooting over half of their attempts successfully from both two-point (59 percent) and three-point range (43 percent). Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood out at 1.28, indicating efficient ball movement.

However, consistency remains a concern as evidenced in another past game against Utah State Aggies where they won scoring 63 points but shot less than 40 percent from both field goals and three-pointers. The team's resilience was on display as they overcame these odds through strategic plays leading to points off turnovers and second-chance points.

Viejas Arena has been known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into the hands of the home team. The support of home fans often acts as a sixth man for teams like San Diego State who thrive under pressure.

As we look forward to this matchup, it is clear that if San Diego State can capitalize on their defensive strengths while maintaining offensive efficiency, they stand a good chance of coming out on top once again in front of their home crowd.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 22nd at Viejas Arena in San Diego. Fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network channel number 221.
