Will the Air Force Falcons Soar High Against San Diego State Aztecs at Clune Arena?

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the San Diego State Aztecs at Clune Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their competitive edge. The Falcons have shown a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, with a narrow defeat against Northern Colorado Bears (79-83) and a loss to Eastern Washington Eagles (68-73), but they managed to secure a victory away against Texas-Arlington Mavericks (73-76).

The game against the Bears highlighted the Falcons' ability to score from beyond the arc, hitting an impressive 52 percent of three-point shots. However, turnovers were an issue as they gave up possession 11 times. In contrast, their defense was more effective in the game against Eastern Washington Eagles with 11 steals but was offset by personal fouls that reached 22.

Playing at home has its advantages; however, it's crucial for Air Force to tighten up defensively and manage turnovers better. Their assists turnover ratio in these games has been inconsistent – excellent against Northern Colorado with 2.1 but less so versus Eastern Washington at just 0.93.

The upcoming clash will test whether Air Force can leverage their home court advantage and passionate fan support at Clune Arena to overcome these challenges. With both teams looking to assert dominance early on in this matchup, expect an intense battle where every possession could turn the tide.

Fans can catch all the action live on Fox Sports 1 channel 219 on February 7th at 8:30 PM Mountain Time from Colorado Springs' very own Clune Arena.
