UTEP Miners and New Mexico State Aggies Clash at Don Haskins Center in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the University of Texas at El Paso Miners prepare to host the New Mexico State Aggies at the Don Haskins Center, fans are eager to see if the home advantage will play a pivotal role in this women's basketball encounter. The Miners have shown resilience in their recent games, despite facing some tough challenges.

In their last outing on Massimino Court against the Fighting Illini, UTEP demonstrated offensive prowess by scoring 71 points with an impressive field goal percentage of 55. However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 16 times which contributed to their ten-point loss. Their two-point shooting was particularly effective at 63 percent, but they struggled beyond the arc with only a 20 percent success rate from three-point land.

The previous game saw UTEP fall short against UIC Flames where they managed to put up 65 points. While their three-point shooting improved to 40 percent, overall field goal percentage dipped significantly to just over one-third of their shots made. Turnovers continued to plague them with a total of 19 for that game.

Earlier in December, during an intense battle that went into overtime against Portland Pilots at home, UTEP scored only one three-pointer out of seven attempts and had an overall field goal percentage of around 36 percent. They fought hard on defense with steals and blocks but ultimately fell five points short.

The upcoming game promises excitement as both teams vie for victory on January 6th at Don Haskins Center in El Paso. Fans can expect UTEP Miners to leverage their strong two-point shooting while aiming to reduce turnovers that have hindered past performances. With home-court advantage and fan support behind them, it will be interesting to see how they tackle these issues against New Mexico State Aggies.

Fans can catch all the action live on January 6th starting from tip-off time scheduled for local fans' convenience.
