Fresno State Bulldogs Set to Challenge Nevada Wolf Pack at Lawlor Events Center
As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Lawlor Events Center, fans are eager for insights into how their team might fare in this upcoming Women's Basketball game. The Bulldogs have shown a mixed bag of performances recently, but there's reason to believe they could come out on top in this encounter.
In their last game on December 20, Fresno State put up a valiant fight against Arizona State Sun Devils, scoring 76 points. Despite falling short by just four points, they demonstrated an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 48 percent and a free throw accuracy that was flawless. They also managed to grab 41 rebounds and dished out 17 assists.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Bulldogs; turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 16 times. This is an area where they'll need to tighten up when facing Nevada. The team's ability to convert from beyond the arc will be crucial once again if they are going to keep pace with the Wolf Pack.
Comparing this performance with their victory over Sacramento State Hornets on December 16 shows some consistency in their play. The Bulldogs scored fewer points (68) but were more efficient defensively, forcing more turnovers (21) and converting these into 21 points off turnovers.
The most concerning aspect for Fresno might be their recent loss against Cal Poly Mustangs on December 9 where they only managed to score 59 points while allowing a whopping 84 points against them. Their field goal percentage dropped significantly in that game (32 percent), which is something that cannot happen if they hope to beat Nevada.
The key player for Fresno will likely be whoever steps up from behind the three-point line; maintaining or improving upon their previous shooting percentages could tip the scales in their favor.
On the other side of the court, fans can expect Nevada Wolf Pack not to give any quarter easily at home. They'll look to exploit any weaknesses shown by Fresno State and capitalize on them as much as possible.
Looking ahead, it’s clear that consistency will be key for FRES if they want success at Lawlor Events Center – both defensively and in taking care of the ball offensively. If FRES can replicate some of its better performances rather than its poorer ones – particularly from downtown – then there’s every chance that fans could witness an upset on January 20th at Reno when these two teams clash starting at 1:00 PM Pacific Time (PT). Fans won't find this match broadcasted through traditional networks but should keep an eye out for streaming options or local listings closer to game day.
