Utah State Aggies Set to Challenge UNLV Rebels at Cox Pavilion Showdown

As the Utah State Aggies prepare to face off against the UNLV Rebels, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an engaging contest. The upcoming game, scheduled at the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, will see the Aggies looking to improve their performance after a series of challenging matchups.

In their recent games, the Aggies have shown both resilience and areas for improvement. A close encounter with Western Colorado saw them fall just short by two points, finishing with 49 points against Western Colorado's 51. Despite a higher number of total rebounds (46 compared to 42), their field goal percentage was low at 27 percent and three-point attempts were only successful 19 percent of the time.

The game against Northern Colorado highlighted some offensive struggles for Utah State as they managed only 57 points compared to Northern Colorado's impressive 75. While they had a better shooting percentage from inside the arc at 51 percent, turnovers were a significant issue with a total of nineteen giving away crucial possession.

An away game versus Utah Valley further exposed difficulties in ball handling and shooting accuracy; scoring only 38 points while allowing Utah Valley to rack up 68. The team's assist-to-turnover ratio was notably low at just over half an assist per turnover, indicating that ball security could be key in their next outing.

Looking ahead, it is clear that reducing turnovers and improving shot selection will be critical for the Aggies if they are going to come out on top against UNLV Rebels. Fans can expect them to focus on tightening up defense and capitalizing on scoring opportunities when they arise.

The upcoming clash is set for December 30th at Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas. Supporters can catch all the action live on CBS Sports Network channel 221 starting from nine o'clock Eastern Time (ET).
