Pan American Center Hosts New Mexico State Aggies and Florida International Panthers in Women's Basketball
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the Florida International Panthers at the Pan American Center, fans are gearing up for an exciting women's basketball game. The venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere and passionate fan base, could play a significant role in boosting the Aggies' performance.
The Aggies have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Trojans, they fell short with 66 points to the Trojans' 81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they shot free throws at an impressive 79 percent accuracy and managed to secure 34 rebounds.
However, consistency has been an issue for the team. In a nail-biting encounter that went into overtime against Austin Peay Governors, they narrowly lost by two points with a final score of 55-57. The team showed tenacity on defense with 15 steals but struggled with turnovers which ultimately cost them the game.
On a brighter note, when facing off against Utah Valley Wolverines at home earlier in December, the Aggies secured a comfortable victory with 70 points over their opponents' modest tally of 39. Their shooting was particularly effective that night as they hit over half of their field goals and three-pointers were dropping at an impressive rate of about 46 percent.
Looking ahead to their matchup against Florida International Panthers, it will be crucial for New Mexico State to capitalize on home-court advantage and maintain strong defensive pressure while minimizing turnovers. Fans can expect an intense battle as both teams vie for victory.
The upcoming game is scheduled for January 12th at Pan American Center in Las Cruces. Tip-off is set for local time (Mountain Time Zone), and fans eager to catch all the action can find broadcast details closer to date on official team platforms or local listings.
