Viejas Arena to Witness Clash Between San Diego State Aztecs and Wyoming Cowboys
As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to welcome the Wyoming Cowboys to the Viejas Arena at Aztec Bowl, fans can anticipate a thrilling encounter. The Aztecs have been showcasing a robust performance on their home court, and this upcoming game is expected to be no exception.
In their recent outings, the Aztecs have displayed a mix of resilience and skill. Despite a narrow defeat against Boise State Broncos with a final score of 60-66, they bounced back in their next game against New Mexico Lobos with an impressive 73-71 victory. This win was marked by an exceptional second-half performance where they outscored the Lobos by 12 points.
The team's statistics reveal some strong suits that could play into their advantage in the upcoming match. Notably, they've been effective from both inside and outside the paint, shooting around 46 percent from two-point range across recent games. Their free throw accuracy has been commendable as well, with an average of over 80 percent in their last three games combined.
Defensively, San Diego State has shown tenacity with consistent steals and blocks contributing to turnovers which then translate into points off those turnovers – something that could disrupt Wyoming's offensive flow.
However, it's not just about defense; assists have also been flowing for SDSU. They've maintained an assist-to-turnover ratio above one in each of these games which indicates efficient ball movement and teamwork – key elements for success against any opponent.
Playing at home should give San Diego State an additional boost as they look to capitalize on familiar surroundings and crowd support at Viejas Arena – known for its vibrant atmosphere that often acts as a sixth man for the team.
