As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to host the Colorado State Rams at Viejas Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be an electrifying encounter. The Aztecs have been on a commendable trajectory, showcasing their prowess on their home court with a series of impressive performances.
In their recent match against Stanford's Cardinal, the Aztecs dominated with a 74-60 victory. Their offensive efficiency was evident as they shot 45 percent from the field and an impressive 58 percent from inside the arc. Their defensive game was equally strong, forcing 16 turnovers and converting them into 15 points.
The trend continued when they faced Saint Katherine's Firebirds, where they secured a commanding 91-57 win. The team's rebounding was particularly noteworthy; they outrebounded their opponents by an astounding margin, grabbing 50 rebounds to Saint Katherine’s 25. This dominance in the paint contributed significantly to their second-chance points tally of 19.
Against UC Irvine Anteaters, however, it was a closer affair with the Aztecs narrowly edging out with a one-point victory at 63-62. Despite shooting only 38 percent from the field and struggling slightly more from two-point range than usual at just under forty percent accuracy, free throws were crucial as they made an excellent eighty-six percent of those attempts.
The upcoming game against Colorado State is expected to test San Diego State’s resilience once again. With each game played at Viejas Arena bringing its own set of challenges and opportunities for growth, fans can anticipate another thrilling performance by this formidable squad.
