Bulldogs Set to Challenge Rams in Fort Collins Showdown

As the Fresno State Bulldogs prepare to face off against the Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Bulldogs, coming off a mixed bag of performances, are looking to assert their dominance on the court once again.

In their last game on December 20th against the Arizona State Sun Devils, FRES put up an impressive fight but fell short by just four points in an 80-76 loss. Despite this setback, there were positive takeaways from the game. The Bulldogs showcased their ability to score from beyond the arc with a remarkable 48 percent success rate on three-point attempts and maintained a free throw accuracy of 100 percent. However, turnovers proved costly as they gave away possession 16 times.

Earlier on December 16th, FRES secured a victory over Sacramento State Hornets with a more comfortable margin of 68-47 at home. This win was characterized by strong defensive play that led to six steals and capitalized on turnovers with 21 points scored off them. Their rebounding was also noteworthy as they outrebounded Sacramento State by four boards.

However, it's crucial for FRES not to overlook their shortcomings from these past games as they head into enemy territory. In particular, their performance against Cal Poly Mustangs on December 9th exposed some weaknesses that need addressing if they wish to come out victorious against CSU. The Bulldogs struggled with field goal percentage at only 33 percent and were overwhelmed in points in paint where Cal Poly dominated with double the output (48-20).

The upcoming game will demand Fresno State's best efforts both offensively and defensively if they hope to overcome CSU's home-court advantage. It will be essential for them not only to maintain their strong perimeter shooting but also improve ball handling and inside scoring.

Looking ahead at what is sure to be an intense matchup between these two teams; fans should expect FRES players like those who shined previously—contributing significant three-pointers and assists—to step up once again while tightening up defense under pressure.

The clash between Fresno State Bulldogs and Colorado State Rams is scheduled for February 7th at Moby Arena in Fort Collins at 6:30 PM local time (8:30 PM Eastern Time). Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds right from courtside or through broadcast channels covering this exciting event.
