Can San Diego State Outshine UNLV at Thomas & Mack?

As the San Diego State Aztecs prepare to face off against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at the Thomas & Mack Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Aztecs have shown a strong performance in their past games, with an impressive victory over New Mexico where they scored 81 points and demonstrated a solid defense with 6 blocks and 12 steals. Their shooting was on point, hitting 57 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc.

The team's ability to convert turnovers into points has been notable, scoring 25 points off turnovers against New Mexico. However, ball control has been an area of concern as they turned it over themselves on 20 occasions in that game. Despite this, their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an even one.

In another recent matchup against Colorado State Rams, San Diego State showcased its rebounding prowess by dominating the boards with a total of 46 rebounds – significantly higher than Colorado State's 24. They also maintained a steady free-throw percentage of around seventy-two percent which could be crucial in close game situations.

The upcoming game presents an opportunity for San Diego State to leverage its strengths: converting defensive plays into offensive opportunities and controlling the paint – areas where they've excelled by scoring consistently around thirty-four points in previous games.

Fans should expect a competitive match as both teams will be looking to assert dominance early on. With conference standings potentially influenced by this encounter, every play counts towards securing a favorable position for post-season play.

Mark your calendars for March fifth when the action unfolds at eight o'clock PM Pacific Time at Las Vegas' Thomas & Mack Center. The game will be broadcasted live on CBS Sports Network for those cheering from home or anywhere else across the nation.
