However, on the road against Boise State Broncos and Nevada Wolf Pack, the Aggies faced challenges. Despite putting up a fight, they fell short with scores of 59-82 and 70-85 respectively. In these games, their field goal percentages dipped to approximately 40 percent and turnovers became an issue.


The upcoming game's venue could play a significant role for the Aggies as they return to familiar territory where they've previously thrived. The Dee Glen Smith Spectrum has been a fortress for them this season; their home-court advantage could be pivotal in dictating the pace against UNLV.


Defensively, there's room for improvement after allowing over eighty points in two consecutive games on the road. The team will need to tighten up their defense while maintaining offensive production similar to what was seen during their last home stand.


With this matchup scheduled for January 18th at 02:00 AM UTC at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan, Utah fans can catch all the action live on MW Network online broadcast network.
