Spartans Set to Challenge Rams at Moby Arena
As the San Jose State Spartans gear up for their next encounter, they carry with them a momentum that could be pivotal in their upcoming clash against the Colorado State Rams. The Spartans have shown a remarkable ability to control the game's tempo and capitalize on turnovers, which could be a significant factor in their game plan.
In their last outing on December 21st against the Santa Clara Broncos, SJSU demonstrated an impressive offensive performance, outscoring the Broncos 81-78. With an outstanding field goal percentage of 50 percent and a free throw percentage of 84 percent, it's clear that SJSU has honed its shooting prowess. Their ability to convert opportunities into points was evident as they scored 23 points off turnovers and maintained an assists turnover ratio of 3.0.
The defensive side cannot be overlooked either; with eight steals in that game alone, SJSU has proven they can disrupt opponents' playmaking abilities effectively. This defensive tenacity will need to be at its peak when facing CSU.
Looking back further into December reveals more about SJSU's capabilities. Despite falling short against Montana with a score of 75-86 on December 17th, there were positives to take away from that match-up as well – particularly their three-point shooting accuracy which stood at a solid 42 percent.
Earlier in December (9th), another win for SJSU came against New Orleans Privateers where they triumphed with an impressive scoreline of 87-82. It was here that we saw how lethal the Spartans can be inside the paint; scoring nearly half of their total points (48) from close range and boasting a two-point field goal percentage of an incredible 65 percent.
However, it won't all be smooth sailing for SJSU as CSU presents formidable opposition. The Rams are known for their resilience at home and will look to leverage Moby Arena’s atmosphere come February 10th. For San Jose State Spartans fans hoping for victory, attention must turn towards maintaining high shooting percentages while continuing to exploit turnovers effectively.
The upcoming battle is set for February 10th at Moby Arena in Fort Collins – tip-off is scheduled for February 9th at 7:30 PM MST (February 10th at UTC).
