New Mexico State Aggies Set to Host Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters at Pan American Center
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to welcome the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters to the Pan American Center, fans can anticipate an exciting clash in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 27th, will see the Aggies aiming to harness their home-court advantage in Las Cruces.
The Aggies have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against the Trojans at F&M Bank Arena, they fell short with a final score of 66-81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; they shot free throws at an impressive 79 percent accuracy and secured a decent number of offensive rebounds (11). However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 18 times.
Prior to that setback, the Aggies faced off against Austin Peay's Governors and narrowly missed out on victory with a scoreline of 55-57 after overtime. Their defensive efforts shone through with 15 steals and five blocks but were overshadowed by another high turnover count (16) which has been an ongoing issue.
However, it's not all gloomy for the Aggies as they showcased their potential in a dominant win over Utah Valley Wolverines with a comfortable margin (70-39). That performance was marked by efficient shooting from both inside and beyond the arc — field goals at 53 percent and three-pointers at an impressive 46 percent — coupled with strong defense leading to nine steals and two blocks.
The team will be looking to replicate this level of play against Louisiana Tech. The Pan American Center has been known for its vibrant atmosphere which could play into New Mexico State's hands as they seek momentum from supportive fans.
In conclusion, if New Mexico State can tighten up ball security while maintaining their shooting efficiency and defensive intensity demonstrated in previous games, they stand a good chance of coming out on top against Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters.
Fans eager to support the New Mexico State Aggies can catch them live on January 27th at 19:00 local time at Pan American Center or follow along via broadcast networks yet to be announced.
