The Blue Raiders have shown a pattern of resilience and strategic play that could very well tip the scales in their favor come game day.
In their recent matchup on November 20 against the DePaul Blue Demons, the MTU team secured a narrow victory with a score of 71-69. Their performance was marked by an impressive first-quarter lead and consistent scoring throughout the game. With a field goal percentage of 42 percent and three-point shooting at 37 percent, they demonstrated their ability to convert opportunities into points effectively.
However, it wasn't just their offensive prowess that stood out; defensively, they managed to snag six steals and put up four blocks. These stats reflect a team that is not only aggressive on offense but also tenacious when it comes to protecting their basket.
On November 18 against Michigan Wolverines, MTU faced challenges as they were held back by lower shooting percentages across the board compared to previous games. They ended up losing with a score of 49-63. Despite this setback, there were still positives to draw from; notably, they managed six blocks and maintained good defensive pressure throughout.
The upcoming match will test MTU's ability to bounce back from such defeats while capitalizing on their strengths observed in victories like against DePaul. The key for them will be maintaining high shooting accuracy while continuing their strong defensive play – particularly in steals and blocks which have been instrumental in past wins.
