Clash of Titans at Save Mart Center: Colorado State Rams Prepare to Tame the Fresno State Bulldogs
As the Colorado State Rams gear up for their next encounter, all eyes are on the Save Mart Center where they will face off against the formidable Fresno State Bulldogs. The upcoming game on January 10th is not just another date on the calendar; it's a battle that could very well define CSU's season trajectory.
The Rams have shown a pattern of resilience and tactical prowess in their recent games. Despite falling short by five points against UNLV Lady Rebels with a final score of 78-83 on January 6th, CSU demonstrated an impressive ability to maintain possession, turning over the ball only five times compared to UNLV's twelve. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an outstanding 3.4, showcasing their careful ball handling and teamwork.
In contrast, when looking at Fresno State Bulldogs' last performance against Mississippi State Bulldogs where they lost with a close margin (82-75), it was evident that while they had higher assists count (23), their turnovers were also high (9). This suggests that while FRES can create opportunities, they might also give away possessions under pressure – something CSU can capitalize on.
CSU's shooting accuracy from within the paint has been remarkable as well; hitting at 58 percent against Mississippi State shows they know how to get high-percentage shots off effectively. However, one area where CSU might want to focus more is their three-point shooting which was at 36 percent in that same game – decent but there is room for improvement especially when facing a team like FRES who had a three-point shooting accuracy of 48 percent in their last outing.
Defensively speaking, both teams seem evenly matched with blocks and steals but what stands out is CSU’s ability to limit personal fouls – only committing twelve compared to FRES’s seven against Mississippi State which could be crucial in keeping key players out of foul trouble during this matchup.
The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams have shown they can put points on the board while also playing tight defense. For fans looking for an edge-of-the-seat experience, this clash will likely deliver just that.
With anticipation building up for this showdown between two competitive sides vying for dominance in conference standings, loyal supporters should mark their calendars. The action unfolds live from Save Mart Center in Fresno on January 10th at 7 PM Mountain Time (MT). Fans unable or preferring not to travel can catch every play and strategic move broadcasted live as these two titans go head-to-head in what promises to be an electrifying contest.
