Gamecocks Set to Clash with Lady Techsters at Pete Mathews Coliseum
As the Jacksonville State Gamecocks prepare to host the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters at Pete Mathews Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Gamecocks have shown a mixed bag of results in their past performances, which could make for an unpredictable encounter.
In their last game against the Mavericks, the Gamecocks fell short by a narrow margin, scoring 64 points compared to the Mavericks' 69. Despite this loss, there were positive signs; they shot a solid 48 percent from two-point range and an impressive 71 percent from the free-throw line. However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 15 times.
On a brighter note, in their previous home game against Coastal Carolina's Chanticleers, Jacksonville State emerged victorious with an impressive scoreline of 84-72. Their shooting was on point with over half of their two-point attempts finding the net (54 percent) and maintaining strong three-point efficiency at 44 percent. This performance was complemented by dominating rebounding stats where they outrebounded their opponents by nearly twenty boards.
However, when traveling to Charleston earlier in December for an away game against the Cougars, Jacksonville State struggled offensively. They managed only a 32 percent field goal percentage and saw another high turnover count at eighteen which contributed to their defeat.
The upcoming match presents an opportunity for redemption and consistency on home turf where they've recently shown strength. With improved ball security and maintaining shooting efficiency especially from beyond the arc where they've been hitting nearly one-third of attempts (29 percent), there's potential for another strong showing.
Fans can catch all the action live on February 16th at Pete Mathews Coliseum in Jacksonville or tune into coverage starting at half-past midnight UTC time zone.
