Panthers Aim to Claw Back at Ocean Bank Convocation Center
As the Florida International Panthers prepare to host the New Mexico State Aggies at the Ocean Bank Convocation Center, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from recent performances. The upcoming clash scheduled for March 9th promises to be a pivotal moment in the Panthers' season.
The Panthers have had a rollercoaster ride in their past few games. Despite a valiant effort, they fell short against Jacksonville State Gamecocks with a score of 63-80. The team struggled defensively, allowing 80 points and recording only two blocks and two steals. However, they showed resilience in their offense with a field goal percentage of 45 and were particularly strong inside the paint scoring 38 points.
In contrast, during their encounter with Liberty Flames, the Panthers couldn't find their rhythm offensively as evidenced by their low field goal percentage of just 28 percent. They did excel at free throws with an impressive accuracy rate of 81 percent but ultimately lost by a margin of 56-71.
However, there's hope on the horizon as reflected in their home victory over Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters where they came out on top with a scoreline of 68-51. Their shooting improved significantly to hit nearly half of their attempts from both inside (50 percent) and beyond the arc (38 percent). This win showcased what the Panthers are capable of when firing on all cylinders.
Looking ahead to facing New Mexico State Aggies, it's crucial for Florida International Panthers to capitalize on home-court advantage and maintain consistency throughout all four quarters. With an emphasis on tightening up defense while continuing to exploit scoring opportunities in the paint as they did against Louisiana Tech could be key strategies for success.
