Air Force Falcons Set to Soar at The Pit Against New Mexico Lobos

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to face off against the New Mexico Lobos at The Pit in Albuquerque, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance trends. Despite a challenging season, the Falcons have shown sparks of promise that could ignite into a full-blown blaze.

In their last game against Fresno State Bulldogs, the Falcons narrowly missed victory with a final score of 66-68. Their tenacity was evident as they racked up 11 steals and blocked five shots. They also demonstrated efficiency in assists with an impressive ratio of 1.7, indicating strong teamwork and ball movement.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Falcons. In a previous encounter with San Diego State Aztecs, they fell short by 13 points (64-77), even though they managed to shoot three-pointers at an impressive rate of fifty percent. This inconsistency was further highlighted in their game against Boise State Broncos where they suffered a heavy defeat (56-94), struggling particularly from beyond the arc with only thirty-two percent shooting accuracy.

The upcoming match is crucial for Air Force as it presents an opportunity to build on their strengths and address weaknesses such as turnovers and rebounding – areas where they were outperformed by opponents in past games.

Playing away from home at The Pit could be both a challenge and an opportunity for the Falcons. Known for its raucous atmosphere that often energizes the home team while intimidating visitors, it will test Air Force's composure under pressure.

Fans can catch this pivotal game on February 24th at 21:00 Mountain Time on CBS Sports Network channel 221. With both teams looking to assert dominance in this conference clash, it promises to be an electrifying showdown worth tuning into.
