Clash at Amway Center: San Diego State Aztecs vs Charleston Cougars

As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to face off against the Charleston Cougars at the Amway Center, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this anticipated matchup.

Looking back at last season's performance, the Aztecs showed a solid foundation in their gameplay. With an overall field goal percentage of 43 and a free throw percentage of 69, they demonstrated efficiency on offense. Their true shooting percentage stood at 52 percent, indicating that when they took shots, they were often successful. From beyond the arc, they had a three-point shooting percentage of 35 percent while maintaining a two-point shooting accuracy of 47 percent.


Defensively, San Diego State was formidable with an average of nearly five blocks and over seven steals per game. This aggressive defense could disrupt Charleston's offensive flow if maintained in their upcoming game.


On average per game last season, the Aztecs committed around 17 personal fouls and scored approximately 65 points. They also averaged nearly 12 assists which showcased their ability to share the ball effectively among teammates. Rebounding was another strong suit with an average of almost 32 rebounds per contest; this tenacity on both ends of the court will be crucial against Charleston.


However, turnovers were an area that needed improvement as they averaged over twelve per game last season; reducing these will be key to maximizing scoring opportunities against their opponents.


The upcoming match is scheduled for March 16th at Amway Center in Orlando with tip-off set for shortly after seven o'clock local time (19:25 UTC). Fans can catch all the action live on truTV (channel number two hundred forty-six) as both teams vie for victory on this national stage.
