Boise State Broncos Set to Battle Fresno State Bulldogs at Save Mart Center
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Broncos have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their past games, which could be pivotal in determining the outcome of this matchup.
In their last game on December 22 against the San Diego Toreros, the Boise State Broncos secured a victory with 62 points over the Toreros' 54. This win was characterized by a strong start with 21 points in the first quarter and consistent defensive efforts that resulted in seven blocks and eight steals. However, shooting accuracy was an area of concern; they only made 34 percent of field goals and were successful with just 60 percent from the free-throw line.
The previous day's game on December 21 saw BSU fall short against UC San Diego Tritons with a score of 56-62. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways for BSU including an impressive free throw percentage at approximately 82 percent and maintaining eight steals like in their subsequent game. The fourth quarter surge where they scored an impressive 22 points showed that when pushed, BSU can find another gear offensively.
A notable performance came earlier on December 12 when BSU hosted Rocky Mountain College Battlin' Bears at ExtraMile Arena. Dominating with a scoreline of 67-46, BSU showcased what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders – particularly inside as they racked up an impressive number of points in paint (38). Their defensive prowess was also on full display as they amassed thirteen blocks.
Looking ahead to their encounter with Fresno State Bulldogs, it's clear that consistency will be key for Boise State. They'll need to replicate their high-scoring quarters while shoring up any lapses that allow opponents back into games. The Bulldogs will not make it easy; however, given BSU's ability to turn defense into offense quickly as evidenced by fast break points across these games – averaging around thirteen per game – there is potential for them to control the tempo.
The upcoming clash is scheduled for February 1st at Save Mart Center located in Fresno, California; tip-off is set for February first at six o'clock PM local time (PST). Fans unable to attend can follow along through various media outlets providing live updates throughout this highly anticipated contest.
