Air Force Falcons Set to Clash with UNLV Runnin' Rebels at Clune Arena
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the UNLV Runnin' Rebels at Clune Arena, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a crucial role. The Falcons have shown a consistent pattern in their past performances, which may give us insight into what to expect in this upcoming matchup.
In their last game against Northern Colorado Bears, the Falcons displayed a strong offensive effort despite falling short by just four points, finishing with 79 points. Their three-point shooting was particularly impressive, hitting 52 percent from beyond the arc. However, they struggled on defense and on the boards, allowing 83 points and being outrebounded by eight.
The previous away game against Texas-Arlington Mavericks showed that turnovers can be costly for the Falcons; they committed 19 turnovers leading to a narrow defeat of three points. Despite this setback, their two-point field goal percentage was solid at 64 percent.
Against Eastern Washington Eagles at home earlier in December, Air Force's performance dipped slightly as they managed only 68 points with a lower field goal percentage of 39 percent overall. They did capitalize on turnovers though, scoring an impressive 31 points off Eastern Washington's mistakes.
These games highlight areas where Air Force could focus on improving: reducing turnovers and strengthening their rebounding efforts could be key factors against UNLV. The ability to maintain high percentages from both two-point range and beyond the arc will also be critical for securing victory.
Fans should look forward to an exciting contest as these trends suggest that while Air Force has demonstrated offensive prowess particularly from long range – there is room for tightening up defensively and controlling possession more effectively.
