Clash at Elma Roane Fieldhouse: Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs Take on Memphis Tigers in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs prepare to face off against the Memphis Tigers at the Elma Roane Fieldhouse, fans are eager to see if their team can bounce back from a recent narrow defeat. The upcoming game, scheduled for December 17th, promises to be an exciting encounter in women's basketball.
The Lady Bulldogs have shown a mixed bag of results in their past performances. Despite a high-scoring victory with 102 points against Tulsa, they experienced a close loss with 68 points against Miami (FL), and another tight game where they scored 53 points but fell short against Chattanooga. These games highlight both the offensive prowess and defensive challenges faced by the team.
Analyzing their statistics reveals some trends that could influence their upcoming game. The Lady Bulldogs have demonstrated strong scoring capabilities, especially from beyond the arc with three-point shooting percentages hovering around impressive figures like 48 percent and even reaching as high as 57 percent in one instance. Their free-throw performance has been generally solid too, peaking at an excellent rate of approximately 89 percent during their highest-scoring match.
However, turnovers seem to be an area of concern for Mississippi State; they've had games with turnovers reaching double digits which could prove costly if not addressed. On a positive note, their assist-to-turnover ratio was particularly commendable in one of their victories, indicating good ball movement when they're on form.
Defensively speaking, while blocks and steals per game aren't standout numbers overall, there is evidence of resilience under pressure given that they've managed to keep personal fouls relatively low across these matches.
The venue itself may play its part too; playing away from home always adds an element of unpredictability due to unfamiliar surroundings and local support for the opposition. However, it also provides an opportunity for teams like the Lady Bulldogs to showcase resilience and adaptability.
Fans can catch this anticipated matchup live on December 17th at Elma Roane Fieldhouse or follow along through various broadcast networks dedicated to women's college basketball coverage. With tip-off set for evening time local venue hours (20:00 UTC), supporters should be ready for what could be another thrilling chapter in this season's campaign.
