San Diego State University Takes on Utah State Aggies at Thomas & Mack Center

As the San Diego State University gears up for their next challenge against the Utah State Aggies, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling encounter at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. The Aztecs, coming off a nail-biting overtime victory against the UNLV Runnin' Rebels, showcased resilience and strategic prowess.

In their previous game, SDSU demonstrated a strong second-half performance by scoring 43 points following a slower start with only 22 points in the first half. Their ability to ramp up intensity as the game progresses could be crucial against USU. The team's statistics reveal areas of both strength and concern: while they managed an impressive total of 50 rebounds and capitalized on turnovers with 16 points, their shooting percentages were less than ideal. Field goals stood at 37 percent and three-point attempts were converted at just 26 percent.

The Aztecs' defense was active as evidenced by nine steals and four blocks; however, they will need to improve their free-throw accuracy which was just over half successful at 62 percent. Another positive takeaway is their bench depth that contributed significantly to second-chance points totaling 20.

Looking ahead to facing Utah State Aggies, maintaining defensive pressure will be key for SDSU. They'll also need to focus on improving shot selection and efficiency from beyond the arc as well as from the charity stripe. Rebounding has been a strong suit for San Diego State University this season and continuing this trend could provide them with additional scoring opportunities through offensive boards.

The upcoming game is set for March 15th at Thomas & Mack Center where fans can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network starting from 6:30 PM local time (PST). With both teams eager to assert dominance in this matchup, it's an event no fan should miss out on witnessing firsthand or through broadcast coverage.
