Cougars Clash with Bulldogs at CHI Health Center Showdown

As the Washington State Cougars prepare to face off against the Drake Bulldogs at the CHI Health Center Omaha, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this highly anticipated matchup. The Cougars, coming off a season where they played 34 games, have shown a solid foundation in their gameplay that they hope to build upon.

Last season's analytics reveal a team that was disciplined and efficient from the free-throw line and within true shooting scenarios, boasting perfect percentages in both categories. This level of accuracy will be crucial as they go head-to-head with the Bulldogs. However, it is worth noting that both three-point and two-point field goal percentages stood at zero percent last season – an area where improvement would be beneficial for increasing overall scoring potential.

The Cougars averaged 68 points per game with contributions across the board: 11 assists and 32 rebounds per game show a well-rounded offensive and defensive effort. Defensively, they were active with nearly 3 blocks and just under 5 steals per game – signs of an alert defense ready to challenge opponents' offenses.

One area for attention is ball handling; averaging almost 11 turnovers per game can give opponents unnecessary opportunities. Reducing these will be key in maintaining control against Drake.

The venue could play a role as well; playing away from home always brings its challenges. The Cougars will need to adapt quickly to the environment of CHI Health Center Omaha if they want to secure victory.
