Air Force Falcons Set to Soar at Moby Arena

As the Air Force Falcons prepare for their upcoming clash at Moby Arena, fans are eager to see if they can maintain their recent performance trends. The Falcons have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few outings, with a narrow loss against the Spartans (67-70) followed by a defeat from the Wolf Pack (54-67), and another loss when they faced off with the Aggies (60-88).

Despite these setbacks, there are positive takeaways from the Falcons' gameplay. In their game against the Spartans, they boasted an impressive field goal percentage of fifty-two percent and were successful on forty-three percent of their three-point attempts. Their two-point shooting was even more efficient at fifty-nine percent. This offensive efficiency is something that could serve them well in future games.


However, turnovers seem to be an Achilles heel for the team; during their match-up with Utah State's Aggies, they turned over the ball sixteen times which contributed significantly to their loss. Improving ball security will be crucial going forward.

Defensively, there's room for improvement as well; while they managed six blocks against San Jose State's Spartans and seven steals versus Utah State's Aggies, these efforts weren't enough to secure victories.


The upcoming game is set against Colorado State Rams at Moby Arena—a venue where home advantage might play a significant role. The Rams will have crowd support on their side which could influence game dynamics.
