Broncos Gallop to Reno: A Showdown at Lawlor Events Center Looms
As the Boise State Broncos prepare to face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Lawlor Events Center on February 17, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent performance trends. The Broncos have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, but there are positive signs that suggest they could come out on top in this upcoming clash.
In their last three games, the Broncos have displayed a strong defensive presence with an average of 9 blocks per game and consistent steals averaging 8 per game. This defensive prowess was particularly evident when they hosted Rocky Mountain College, where they notched an impressive 13 blocks and 9 steals. Offensively, while field goal percentages have hovered around the mid-thirties, they've excelled in two-point shots against Rocky Mountain College with a remarkable success rate of sixty-three percent.
The team's resilience is also noteworthy; despite turnovers being an area for improvement, the assist-to-turnover ratio has been positive overall. In their home victory over Rocky Mountain College, this ratio stood at 1.21 which indicates a potential for efficient ball handling and playmaking.
Rebounding has been another strong suit for Boise State with forty rebounds grabbed in two out of three past games. This includes both offensive and defensive boards which could be crucial in giving them second-chance points and limiting those of Nevada's.
However, consistency will be key for Boise State as shooting percentages from beyond the arc and free-throw lines need to be more reliable – something that could tip scales in close encounters like these.
The upcoming game promises to be an exciting one as both teams vie for dominance on court. Fans can catch all the action live from Reno on February 17th at nine o'clock PM Eastern Time (ET). Will Boise State harness its defensive strengths and rebounding ability to secure victory? Or will Nevada capitalize on any lapses? Only time will tell as we await tip-off at Lawlor Events Center.
