Sam Houston State Bearkats Set to Face SMU Mustangs at Moody Coliseum in Women's Basketball

As the Sam Houston State Bearkats prepare to face off against the SMU Mustangs at Moody Coliseum in Dallas, fans are anticipating an exciting game of women's basketball. The Bearkats have been showing a strong performance trend, as evidenced by their recent games.

In their last game against the Steers, the Bearkats dominated with a staggering 114 points victory, showcasing their offensive prowess. They shot an impressive 52 percent from the field and 55 percent from two-point range. Their defensive efforts were equally notable with nine blocks and fourteen steals, contributing to a significant number of points off turnovers.

However, consistency has been an issue for the team. In a previous match against Texas Tech Lady Raiders, they scored only 60 points and struggled with shooting accuracy at just 35 percent from the field. Despite this setback, they managed to maintain decent three-point shooting at around 30 percent.

The game before that saw them narrowly outscore Florida A&M's Lady Rattlers by three points in a tight contest that ended with a score of 65-62 for Sam Houston State. The team had to work hard defensively as turnovers were high on both sides.

Looking ahead to their upcoming match at Moody Coliseum—a venue known for its vibrant atmosphere which could influence player performance—the Bearkats will need to capitalize on their strengths while addressing inconsistencies seen in past games. Ball handling and shooting efficiency will be key factors if they are going to overcome the home-court advantage held by SMU Mustangs.

Fans can catch all the action on December 19th at Moody Coliseum or tune into local broadcasts for live coverage of what promises to be an engaging encounter between these two teams.
