Can Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters Outmaneuver New Mexico State?
As the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters gear up for their next challenge against the New Mexico State Aggies, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent string of performances that have left much to be desired. The upcoming game, set at the Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, promises to be a pivotal moment for the Lady Techsters.
In their last encounter on February 10th against Liberty Flames, the Lady Techsters fell short by 5 points in a game that ended with a score of 53-58. Despite playing on home turf, they struggled with field goal accuracy at only 33 percent and were outrebounded by the Flames who secured 43 rebounds over LT's 40. Moreover, personal fouls seemed to plague LT as they racked up 17 compared to Liberty's more disciplined count of 13.
However, it wasn't all doom and gloom for LT. They showed tenacity in points off turnovers and second-chance points but need to work on converting opportunities into scores. Their free throw percentage was also notably lower than desired at just under sixty percent.
Looking back further into their season provides some hope though; despite losing against Western Kentucky with a score of 56-64 on February 8th, LT had an impressive three-point shooting percentage at thirty-six percent during that game. This is an area where they could potentially exploit weaknesses in NMSU's defense if they manage consistency from beyond the arc.
The most promising performance came earlier against Florida International Panthers where LT narrowly lost with a final score of seventy-one to seventy-three on February 2nd. In this high-scoring affair, LT boasted an impressive fifty percent field goal rate and dominated inside with sixty-two percent two-point shooting accuracy – showcasing what this team is capable of when firing on all cylinders.
The key takeaway for Louisiana Tech is consistency; maintaining high energy throughout all four quarters will be crucial against NMSU. The Aggies will come prepared and looking to capitalize on any signs of weakness shown by LT in previous games.
Fans should expect Coach Brooke Stoehr’s squad to focus heavily on improving defensive efforts while sharpening offensive execution around the paint where they've shown potential dominance before. It will also be essential for them not only to limit turnovers but also convert those into scoring opportunities effectively – something that has been hit or miss so far this season.
With anticipation building towards February twenty-fourth’s clash scheduled at two o'clock PM Central Time (CT), supporters can catch live action from Thomas Assembly Center or tune in through local broadcasts available within their region – ensuring not a moment is missed as Louisiana Tech aims for redemption against New Mexico State Aggies.
