Clash at UTSA Convocation Center: UTSA Roadrunners to Host Bethune-Cookman Wildcats

As the UTSA Roadrunners prepare to host the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats at the UTSA Convocation Center, fans can expect an intense matchup. The Roadrunners have shown a mix of challenges and potential in their recent games. Despite a hard-fought effort, they fell short in their last two outings against formidable opponents.

In their previous game against the Utes, the Roadrunners scored 70 points but struggled defensively, allowing 91 points. Their shooting from beyond the arc was decent at 39 percent, but overall field goal percentage was just 38 percent. They also had difficulty on the boards with only 24 rebounds compared to Utah's commanding 51.

The game prior saw a similar trend with UTSA putting up a respectable offensive performance with 76 points and an improved three-point shooting percentage of approximately 44 percent. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 15 times leading to several fast-break opportunities for New Mexico who capitalized by scoring 94 points.

On a positive note, during their home game against Incarnate Word, the Roadrunners secured a win with better defensive play and efficient shooting from both two-point range (52 percent) and three-point range (36 percent). They also demonstrated more control over turnovers and showed balanced assistance on offense with equal contributions across players.

The venue could play into UTSA's favor; playing at home in front of their fans should provide an extra boost of energy and confidence. The team will need to focus on tightening up defense while maintaining offensive efficiency if they want to secure another victory at home.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for December 18th at 21:00 GMT+0 live on CUSA TV from San Antonio's own UTSA Convocation Center.
