Pan American Center to Witness New Mexico State Aggies Clash with Sam Houston State Bearkats

As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to welcome the Sam Houston State Bearkats to the Pan American Center, fans are anticipating a competitive clash in women's basketball. The upcoming game is set against a backdrop of recent performances that could influence expectations.

The Aggies have had a mixed bag of results in their past games. In their most recent home game, they secured a convincing win over the Utah Valley Wolverines with a scoreline of 70-39. This dominant performance was characterized by efficient shooting, as they hit 53 percent from the field and an impressive 46 percent from beyond the arc. Their defense was also on point, forcing 23 turnovers and converting them into 28 points.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Aggies as evidenced by their performance against Troy Trojans where they fell short with a score of 66-81 at F&M Bank Arena. Despite shooting nearly 79 percent from the free-throw line and grabbing more offensive rebounds than usual, their overall field goal percentage was just under 39 percent which proved insufficient against Troy's high-scoring offense.

Moreover, in another close encounter that went into overtime against Austin Peay Governors on enemy territory, New Mexico State narrowly lost by two points with a final score of 55-57. The team showed resilience but struggled with ball control which is evident from their low assists turnover ratio.

Looking ahead to their matchup with Sam Houston State Bearkats at home where they have shown stronger performances could be advantageous for New Mexico State Aggies. The Pan American Center has been kind to them before and could provide that extra boost needed for victory.

Fans can catch all the action on January 26th at Las Cruces' own Pan American Center where both teams will battle it out on court starting at one o'clock in the morning local time.
