Will the Aggies Outshine the Miners at Pan American Center?

As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the UTEP Miners at Pan American Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their home court advantage. The upcoming clash on February 10th promises to be a showcase of determination and skill.

The Aggies have had a mixed bag of performances in recent games. Their last outing against the Trojans saw them fall short, scoring 66 points compared to their opponents' 81. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, they shot an impressive 79 percent from the free-throw line and demonstrated resilience by grabbing 11 offensive rebounds.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Aggies. In a nail-biting encounter with Austin Peay Governors that went into overtime, they narrowly missed victory by two points with a final score of 55-57. The game highlighted their defensive prowess with 15 steals but also exposed weaknesses as they struggled with turnovers.

On a brighter note, in their face-off against Utah Valley Wolverines at home earlier in December, the Aggies delivered a commanding performance leading to a comfortable win of 70-39. They excelled across various metrics – shooting over half of their field goals successfully and converting nearly three-quarters of free throws while maintaining an even assists-turnover ratio.

The upcoming game is crucial for building momentum as it offers an opportunity for redemption after recent setbacks. Playing on familiar ground should give them confidence; however, they must tighten up ball control and capitalize on scoring opportunities inside the paint where they've shown strength before.

Fans can catch all the action live from Las Cruces on February 10th at nine o'clock in the evening local time as both teams vie for supremacy on court – will it be another showcase of home dominance for New Mexico State?
