Air Force Falcons Set to Battle Boise State Broncos at ExtraMile Arena
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to take on the Boise State Broncos at ExtraMile Arena, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a crucial role. The Falcons have shown a consistent performance in their past games, with an evident strength in their three-point shooting and assists.
In their last game against Northern Colorado Bears, the Falcons narrowly missed victory with a final score of 79-83. Despite this loss, they demonstrated strong offensive capabilities by maintaining a field goal percentage of 53 and impressively converting 52 percent of their three-point attempts. Their assist-to-turnover ratio stood at an efficient 2.1, indicating smart ball movement and decision-making.
However, defensive efforts need reinforcement as they allowed 83 points against the Bears. The team's rebounding numbers were also lower than desired; securing more boards could be pivotal in their upcoming match-up.
The previous encounter with Texas-Arlington Mavericks resulted in another close defeat for the Falcons (73-76). While they managed to keep up defensively with five blocks and twelve steals, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession nineteen times which translated into points for the opposition.
Against Eastern Washington Eagles, despite ramping up efforts in the second half to outscore them by twenty points (42-32), it wasn't enough to overcome early deficits leading to a final score of 68-73. This game highlighted areas for improvement such as increasing field goal percentages which stood at only 39 percent from two-point range.
The upcoming clash promises excitement as both teams look to capitalize on each other's weaknesses while reinforcing their strengths. The venue could play its part too; ExtraMile Arena is known for its vibrant atmosphere that could either galvanize or intimidate visiting teams like Air Force.
Fans can catch all the action live on February 3rd at 21:00 GMT via MW Network online broadcast networks. With strategic adjustments and focus on minimizing turnovers while maximizing rebound opportunities, Air Force Falcons aim for success away from home soil.
