Fresno State Bulldogs Set to Battle Arizona State Sun Devils at Footprint Center in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, fans are eager to see if the Bulldogs can bounce back from their recent performances. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 20th, will be a test of resilience and strategy for the team.
In their last three games, Fresno State has shown mixed results. Despite a strong start against UC San Diego with a 71-52 victory where they demonstrated an impressive field goal percentage of 48 and capitalized on turnovers with 28 points off them, they have struggled in subsequent matches. Against Cal Poly, they suffered a significant loss with only 59 points scored compared to Cal Poly's commanding 84 points. Their shooting percentages were notably lower than their opponents', with just a 33 percent success rate from beyond the arc and only making half of their free throws.
The trend continued against Cal State Fullerton where Fresno State fell short once again scoring just 68 points while allowing Fullerton to rack up 77. Their field goal percentage improved slightly to around 42 percent but was still outshined by Fullerton's more efficient shooting.
One consistent area of concern has been turnovers; in these past games, Fresno has averaged over double-digit turnovers which have led directly to opponent scoring opportunities. Additionally, while their defense managed ten steals against Fullerton indicating some defensive prowess, it wasn't enough to secure victory.
The Bulldogs will need to tighten up both ends of the court if they hope for success at Footprint Center—a venue known for its energetic atmosphere that could either spur them on or add pressure against an already challenging opponent like Arizona State.
