Can New Mexico State Aggies Outshine Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters at Thomas Assembly Center?
As the New Mexico State Aggies prepare to face off against the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters at the Thomas Assembly Center, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward their recent momentum. The Aggies have shown a mixed bag of results in their last few outings, but there's a silver lining that suggests they might be turning a corner.
In their most recent game against the Miners, the Aggies secured a victory with 66 points to 59, showcasing an ability to close out games strongly with a fourth-quarter surge. Their performance was marked by an impressive rebounding advantage, grabbing 38 rebounds compared to their opponents' 26. However, turnovers were an issue as they matched their opponent's total of 14.
The previous game saw them on the losing end against Jacksonville State Gamecocks with a score of 49-56. Despite this setback, they maintained consistency in steals and assists but struggled from beyond the arc with only an eighteen percent success rate from three-point range.
Looking further back at another loss against Liberty Flames (53-69), it's evident that maintaining possession has been problematic for the Aggies as turnovers continue to plague them; however, they've consistently demonstrated tenacity on defense with eight steals per game across these matches.
As we approach this upcoming clash on February 24th at Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, LA – where time zone changes could play into fatigue factors – it will be crucial for New Mexico State Aggies to tighten up ball security and capitalize on scoring opportunities inside the paint where they've shown strength. Rebounding will also be key; dominating boards could give them second-chance points and limit opponents' opportunities.
Fans can catch all the action live and witness whether New Mexico State can maintain its defensive intensity while improving ball control and shooting efficiency. Tune in for what promises to be an exciting encounter between these two teams!
