New Mexico State Aggies Clash with Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at Pan American Center
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to host the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders at the Pan American Center, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and home-court advantage will play significant roles. The Aggies have displayed a mixed bag of performances in their past outings, which could influence their approach to this upcoming contest.
In their last game against the Trojans, despite a valiant effort, the Aggies fell short by 15 points. Their field goal percentage stood at 39 percent and they struggled from beyond the arc with only 25 percent shooting success. Turnovers were also an issue as they gave up possession 18 times. However, one positive takeaway was their free-throw accuracy, hitting 79 percent from the line.
The previous encounter saw them in a tight battle that extended into overtime against Austin Peay Governors. Although they lost by just two points, it was evident that turnovers continued to plague them with 16 instances. Yet again, they maintained decent shooting from two-point range (42 percent) and free throws (70 percent), but it wasn't enough to secure victory.
However, hope is not lost for the Aggies as they demonstrated resilience in an earlier matchup against Utah Valley Wolverines where they emerged victorious by a comfortable margin of 31 points. They excelled with an impressive field goal percentage of 53 percent and were particularly effective from three-point land hitting an outstanding rate of 46 percent.
The upcoming game presents an opportunity for redemption and consistency for New Mexico State Aggies as they aim to capitalize on their home-court advantage at Pan American Center – known for its vibrant atmosphere that often energizes home players while imposing additional pressure on visitors.
Fans can catch all the action on February 16th at Pan American Center or tune in live to witness whether the Aggies can harness their strengths and overcome recent inconsistencies to triumph over Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.
