Clash at Frost Arena: Washington State Cougars Take on South Dakota State Jackrabbits in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Washington State Cougars prepare to face the South Dakota State Jackrabbits at Frost Arena, fans are eager to see if the Cougars can continue their impressive performance. The upcoming game, set in Brookings, promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's basketball.
The Cougars have been showcasing a strong offensive game recently. In their last home game against the Aggies, they secured a comfortable victory with 77 points, demonstrating an efficient shooting performance with a field goal percentage of 45 and converting 30 percent of their three-point attempts. Their defense was equally formidable, forcing 18 turnovers and capitalizing with 23 points off those turnovers.
Their dominance was even more pronounced in the previous home game against Texas A&M-Commerce Lions where they erupted for an astounding 111 points. The team's field goal percentage soared to approximately 57 percent while they shot an exceptional 48 percent from beyond the arc. Their playmaking was on full display as well; dishing out an impressive total of 35 assists which translated into an assist-to-turnover ratio of five.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Cougars as they faced a setback during their visit to Green Bay Phoenix where they were held to just under half that score with only 48 points and struggled from long range hitting just under 22 percent from three-point land.
Despite this hiccup, trends suggest that when the Cougars are clicking offensively and applying pressure defensively, they can be quite formidable. With recent games showing both ends of their potential spectrum – explosive scoring and occasional shooting woes – fans will be keenly watching how they adjust and perform at Frost Arena.
The venue could play its part too; away games always bring additional challenges but also opportunities for teams to come together and showcase resilience.
Fans can catch all the action live on Summit League Network when these two teams face off on December 6th at Frost Arena in Brookings.
