Moody Coliseum Hosts SMU Mustangs and UC Riverside Highlanders in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the SMU Mustangs prepare to host the UC Riverside Highlanders at Moody Coliseum, fans are gearing up for what promises to be an exciting game of women's basketball. The venue, known for its vibrant atmosphere, could play a significant role in boosting the Mustangs' performance.

Last season, the Mustangs showed a mixed bag of results. With an overall field goal percentage of 38 percent and a free throw percentage of 80 percent, they demonstrated their ability to score efficiently from the line. Their true shooting percentage stood at 48 percent, indicating room for improvement in scoring efficiency during play.

The team averaged 64 points per game with an assist average of 14 per game last season, suggesting a collaborative style of play that could prove advantageous against the Highlanders' defense. Rebounding was also a strength for the Mustangs as they pulled down an average of 31 rebounds per game.

Defensively speaking, SMU made their presence felt with an average of three blocks and six steals per game. However, ball control was an area that needed attention since they averaged over 12 turnovers per game.

One aspect that might concern fans is their three-point shooting; with just a 32 percent success rate from beyond the arc last season and making only about six three-point shots per game on average indicates this could be an area where UC Riverside might look to capitalize.

Despite these statistics from last season's performance, each new match offers a fresh start and opportunities to outshine previous records. The Moody Coliseum crowd will undoubtedly be looking forward to seeing how their team has worked on these areas as they cheer them on from tip-off till final buzzer.

The upcoming clash between SMU Mustangs and UC Riverside Highlanders is scheduled for November 6th at Moody Coliseum in Dallas. Fans can catch all the action live as both teams vie for victory on this promising evening.
