Boise State Broncos Host Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears in Women's Basketball Showdown at ExtraMile Arena
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face the Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears at ExtraMile Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an enthralling encounter in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 12th, will see the BSU team aiming to bounce back from a recent defeat and capitalize on their home-court advantage.
The Broncos have shown a pattern of resilience this season. Despite a tough loss against BYU on December 9th, where they scored 50 points compared to BYU's 65, they've demonstrated that they can rebound from setbacks. In that game, BSU struggled with field goal percentages (30 percent) and free throws (41 percent), which were significant factors in their defeat.
However, looking at their previous performance against Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners on December 7th provides a glimpse into the potential of this team. The Broncos dominated with an impressive score of 87 points against the Roadrunners' 66. Their shooting was particularly noteworthy; they achieved a field goal percentage of approximately 53 percent and were lethal from beyond the arc with an outstanding three-point percentage of around 50 percent.
This level of performance is what fans can expect as BSU takes on RMC. It's clear that when BSU finds their rhythm offensively, they are hard to stop. Their ability to convert opportunities into points will be crucial against RMC's defense.
On defense, Boise State has been consistent; however, turnovers have been an area needing improvement as seen in their game against Eastern Washington Eagles on December 3rd where they gave up possession a concerning number of times leading to them scoring only 43 points while allowing EWU to score 64 points.
The key player matchup for this game will likely revolve around controlling rebounds and paint presence given both teams’ previous performances in these areas. Fans should look out for how well BSU manages these aspects as it could very well dictate the pace and control of the game.
With all eyes set towards victory at ExtraMile Arena come December evening at seven o'clock sharp; loyal supporters should not miss out on cheering their team live or tuning in through available broadcast networks if any are announced later on. This is more than just another fixture; it’s about pride and proving that despite recent stumbles, Boise State Broncos remain formidable contenders within women’s college basketball.
