Clune Arena Showdown: Air Force Falcons vs Utah State Aggies in Men's Basketball

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the Utah State Aggies at Clune Arena, fans can anticipate an intense matchup in men's basketball. The Falcons have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent games, with performances that suggest they are capable of both offensive firepower and defensive resilience.

In their last game against Northern Colorado Bears, the Falcons fell just short, scoring 79 points to the Bears' 83. Despite the loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, their three-point shooting was impressive at 52 percent accuracy. Additionally, they managed to dish out 21 assists and secured six steals but ultimately couldn't overcome the Bears' offense.

The previous away game saw a narrow defeat against Texas-Arlington Mavericks with a score of 73-76. The Falcons demonstrated strong two-point shooting at approximately 64 percent and were aggressive on defense with twelve steals. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession nineteen times which may have cost them the win.

Earlier this month at Clune Arena against Eastern Washington Eagles, another close game ended in disappointment for the home team as they scored 68 points to Eagles' 73. While their three-point shots dropped at a rate of about 38 percent and free throws were made with approximately 77 percent accuracy – turnovers and fouls painted a picture of missed opportunities.

The upcoming game will be crucial for Air Force as they look to capitalize on their home-court advantage at Clune Arena where fan support could provide an extra boost. Consistency will be key; reducing turnovers and maintaining defensive pressure without committing excessive fouls could turn close losses into wins.

Fans can catch all the action from Clune Arena in Colorado Springs on January 2nd at 9 PM local time via MW Network online broadcast networks.
