New Mexico State Aggies Host UC Irvine Anteaters at Pan American Center in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the UC Irvine Anteaters at the Pan American Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain its recent momentum. The Aggies have had a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, but there are positive trends that suggest they could be finding their rhythm.
In their most recent game against the New Mexico Lobos, despite a loss with a score of 52-67, the Aggies showed resilience by increasing their scoring output each quarter. They also managed to secure 33 rebounds and convert 10 points off turnovers. However, they will need to address their shooting accuracy from beyond the arc and from within the paint as they only shot 31 percent for three-pointers and had a two-point percentage of just over one-third.
A previous victory against Hampton's Lady Pirates showcased what the Aggies are capable of when firing on all cylinders. Dominating with a score of 78-47, they excelled with an impressive field goal percentage nearing half and were lethal from three-point range hitting half of their attempts. Their rebounding was strong too, grabbing 44 compared to Hampton's 25.
However, consistency is key for New Mexico State as evidenced by another past game where they edged out Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners with a close scoreline of 64-59. Their two-point shooting was more reliable in this matchup at over half made shots but struggled significantly from downtown making only one out of seventeen attempts.
The upcoming match promises excitement as fans anticipate whether New Mexico State can capitalize on its strengths while addressing areas needing improvement. The Pan American Center has been known to provide an electric atmosphere that could give them an edge over UC Irvine.
Fans can catch all the action on December 6th at 1:00 AM UTC at Las Cruces' own Pan American Center or tune in through local broadcasts for live coverage.
