Jacksonville State Gamecocks to Face New Mexico State Aggies at Pete Mathews Coliseum

As the Jacksonville State Gamecocks prepare to host the New Mexico State Aggies at Pete Mathews Coliseum, fans can expect an intense matchup. The Gamecocks have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, displaying both resilience and areas for improvement.

In their last game against the Mavericks, despite a strong third-quarter performance where they outscored their opponents by seven points, the Gamecocks fell short with a final score of 64 to 69. Their field goal percentage stood at 39 percent and they struggled from beyond the arc with only a 29 percent success rate on three-point attempts. Ball security was also an issue as they turned over possession fifteen times.

However, looking back two games prior against Coastal Carolina's Chanticleers, Jacksonville State showcased what they are capable of when firing on all cylinders. They put up an impressive 84 points with a field goal percentage of 51 percent and were particularly effective from downtown hitting nearly 44 percent of their threes. They also dominated on the boards pulling down 47 rebounds.

The trend suggests that when Jacksonville State controls turnovers and shoots efficiently, especially from long range, they can be formidable opponents on their home court. With Pete Mathews Coliseum known for its vibrant atmosphere which often acts as a sixth man for the home team, fans should anticipate an energetic environment come game day.

Looking ahead to facing New Mexico State Aggies, maintaining composure and capitalizing on scoring opportunities will be key factors if Jacksonville State aims to secure victory in front of their home crowd.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 3rd at Pete Mathews Coliseum in Jacksonville starting at 8:30 PM local time (20:30 UTC). Fans eager to support the Gamecocks can catch all the action live as it unfolds in this anticipated encounter.
