New Mexico State Aggies Set to Challenge Western Kentucky Lady Toppers at E. A. Diddle Arena
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to face off against the Western Kentucky Lady Toppers, fans are eager for insights into how this matchup will unfold. The Aggies, coming off a recent loss to the Panthers with a score of 52-57 on January 12th, are looking to rebound and capture a win on the road.
In their last game, despite out-rebounding their opponents 40-30 and generating more second-chance points (10), the Aggies struggled with field goal accuracy (34 percent) and turnovers (26). Their three-point shooting was particularly lackluster at just 20 percent. These statistics paint a picture of an Aggie team that has potential but needs to tighten up its execution.
On the other hand, in an earlier game against UTEP Miners on January 6th, NMSU showed they could put up points in bunches, scoring 72 while maintaining better control of the ball with only 15 turnovers. Their assists-to-turnover ratio improved significantly to 1.21 compared to their most recent outing's ratio of just 0.33.
The key for NMSU will be consistency; they've demonstrated an ability both to score efficiently and struggle offensively within a short span of games. If they can replicate their performance from El Paso where they shot better from beyond the arc at 32 percent and were more disciplined with possession, there's every chance they can upset WKU on their home court.
Western Kentucky Lady Toppers will not make it easy though; as hosts at E.A Diddle Arena come January 18th at 5:30 PM local time, they'll have home-court advantage which often proves pivotal in tight contests.
