UTEP Miners and Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters Set to Clash at Don Haskins Center
As the University of Texas at El Paso Miners prepare to host the Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters at the Don Haskins Center, fans are eager to see how their team will perform in this upcoming women's basketball game. The Miners have shown a mix of challenges and strengths in their recent performances, which could play a significant role in the outcome of this match.
In their last game against the Fighting Illini, UTEP displayed impressive shooting accuracy with a field goal percentage of 55 and an exceptional two-point shooting percentage of 63. However, turnovers were a concern as they gave up possession 16 times. Despite these turnovers, they managed to score 44 points in the paint, indicating strong inside play.
The previous encounter saw UTEP struggling with consistency on both ends of the court. They had a lower field goal percentage at 35 and were outrebounded by their opponents. Turnovers continued to be an issue with 19 lost possessions, reflecting on their need for better ball control.
Against Portland Pilots earlier in December, UTEP's defense racked up steals but was overshadowed by another high turnover count (23) that led directly to opponent points. Their three-point shooting was notably low at just over 14 percent – an area that would require improvement for better scoring balance.
The trends suggest that while UTEP has demonstrated strong defensive capabilities with steals and blocks across these games, ball security remains an area needing attention if they are to capitalize on home-court advantage against Louisiana Tech.
Fans can expect a competitive game where rebounding battles and turnover margins could be decisive factors. The Miners will look to leverage their home venue – known for its energetic atmosphere – as they seek victory over the visiting Lady Techsters.
The action is set for January 25th at Don Haskins Center in El Paso, Texas. Tip-off is scheduled for January 26th at local time (January 25th US Central Time), allowing fans ample opportunity to support their team live or tune into broadcasts available through local networks or streaming platforms dedicated to collegiate sports coverage.
