As the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners gear up for their next challenge against the Temple Owls, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming clash at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth promises to be a spectacle of skill and strategy, with both teams eager to assert their dominance on the court.

The UTSA Roadrunners have been showing a consistent performance in recent games, particularly in their ability to control the paint. In their last game on March 10 against the Owls, they scored 28 points in the paint compared to Temple's 32. However, it's worth noting that UTSA had a higher two-point percentage (51 percent) than TEM (48 percent), which could be a significant factor in the upcoming game.

Rebounding has also been a strong suit for UTSA. They out-rebounded TEM by nine boards last time they met, grabbing 41 rebounds to TEM's 32. This edge on the glass could prove crucial once again as second-chance opportunities often tip scales during tightly contested matchups.

One area where UTSA might want to focus is turnovers; they had nine compared to TEM's mere two in their previous encounter. Improving ball security will be vital for UTSA if they want to maintain offensive flow and reduce easy scoring chances for TEM.

On defense, while both teams blocked an equal number of shots last time out (six each), steals were another story – UTSA managed just one steal versus seven by TEM. Increasing defensive pressure without fouling – as evidenced by only committing 12 personal fouls previously – will be key for UTSA if they aim to disrupt TEM’s offense and ignite fast-break opportunities.

TEM is not without its strengths; notably, their three-point shooting matched that of their two-pointers at an impressive 48 percent success rate during our last matchup. If this trend continues, it could stretch UTSA’s defense and create challenging dynamics on the floor.

Looking back further into past performances provides additional insights into what fans might expect from this encounter. On March 2 against SMU Mustangs, despite being away from home turf at Moody Coliseum in Dallas with over five times more spectators than at any game held at Convocation Center this season so far - which seats just over four thousand - The Roadrunners emerged victorious with solid assists numbers (19) and commendable free-throw accuracy (82 percent). This resilience under pressure bodes well for them as they head into enemy territory once more.

In contrast, when facing Tulsa Golden Hurricane back on February 29th within familiar confines of Convocation Center before an audience slightly larger than usual but still intimate compared nationally recognized arenas - The Roadrunners put up an impressive display scoring heavily through fast breaks totaling thirty-one points from such plays alone! Their assist-to-turnover ratio was outstandingly high that night too standing at almost four indicating excellent team cohesion which should serve them well going forward especially considering how close these games tend get towards end seasons where every possession counts even more so than usual!

With all eyes set upon March 13th showdown scheduled precisely half-past two o'clock post meridiem Central Time Zone fans can catch all action live via ESPN+ internet broadcast network ensuring no moment missed regardless location worldwide! Will University Texas San Antonio continue its march toward victory or can Temple find way counter formidable inside presence? Only time will tell but one thing certain: It'll be match remember!
