Falcons Set to Clash with Bulldogs at Clune Arena Showdown
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the Fresno State Bulldogs at Clune Arena, fans are eager for what promises to be a riveting encounter. The Falcons have shown a mix of resilience and areas for improvement in their recent outings, which will undoubtedly influence their approach to the upcoming game.
In their last game against Northern Colorado Bears, the Falcons fell just short, scoring 79 points against the Bears' 83. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably, they boasted an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 52 percent and outperformed in assists with a ratio of 2.1. However, turnovers proved costly as they recorded 11 compared to the Bears' 12.
The previous away game saw them face Texas-Arlington Mavericks where they scored 73 points but allowed 76. Their defense was strong with five blocks and an impressive steal count of twelve but was overshadowed by nineteen turnovers which turned into twenty-five points for Mavericks.
Against Eastern Washington Eagles at home earlier in December, Air Force scored fewer points (68) than both previous games but showed tenacity on defense with four blocks and eleven steals. They capitalized on turnovers scoring thirty-one points off them despite losing by five points.
These statistics suggest that while Air Force has been competitive offensively – particularly from beyond the arc – ball security has been an issue that needs addressing if they are to overcome Fresno State Bulldogs.
The venue could play a pivotal role; playing at home should give Air Force an edge as they look to leverage familiar territory and fan support at Clune Arena. With recent performances indicating potential yet room for growth, fans can expect a determined effort from their team as they aim for victory on February 10th at 8:00 PM local time. The action will be available live on MW Network via Internet broadcast networks for those who cannot make it in person.
