Clash at Save Mart Center: Utah State Aggies to Face Fresno State Bulldogs
As the Utah State Aggies prepare to take on the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and performance will play a crucial role. The Aggies have shown a consistent scoring ability in their past games, with points in the mid-70s, but they've also exhibited some areas that could use tightening up.
In their last outing against San Diego State Aztecs, the Aggies put up 75 points but allowed 85, showing that while their offense is potent, defense might be an area of concern. They managed to sink 64 percent of their two-point attempts and maintained a decent three-point percentage at 33. However, turnovers were an issue as they matched their opponent's total turnovers.
Against San Jose State Spartans earlier in January, Utah State again scored 75 points and secured a win by maintaining higher field goal percentages both from two-point range (62 percent) and beyond the arc (44 percent). Their assist-to-turnover ratio was slightly better than in previous games which indicates an improvement in ball handling and passing decisions.
The game against UNLV Runnin' Rebels showcased another aspect of Utah State's gameplay – resilience. Despite turning over the ball 21 times, they managed to keep pace with scoring efficiency from both inside (59 percent from two-point range) and outside (44 percent for threes), ultimately winning with another scoreline of 75 points.
As we look towards the upcoming match-up at Save Mart Center – known for its energetic atmosphere which could influence player performance – it’s clear that if Utah State can control turnovers while maintaining shooting efficiency, they stand a good chance against Fresno State Bulldogs. Rebounding has been relatively stable for Utah State; however focusing on defensive rebounds could provide them more opportunities to control the game tempo.
