Can the Air Force Falcons Soar Above Boise State Broncos at Clune Arena?

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the Boise State Broncos at Clune Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their home-court advantage. The upcoming clash, scheduled for February 28th, promises to be a thrilling encounter in Colorado Springs.

Recent performances by the Falcons have shown a mixed bag of results. In their last three games, they've had one win and two losses. The victory came against Fresno State Bulldogs with a score of 66-68 at Clune Arena itself, showcasing their ability to defend home turf effectively. This game was marked by an impressive defensive effort with 11 steals and five blocks while maintaining a solid assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.7.

However, in subsequent games on the road against San Jose State Spartans and San Diego State Aztecs, the Falcons stumbled with scores of 66-73 and 64-77 respectively. Despite these setbacks, there were positive takeaways; notably against SDSU where they shot an impressive fifty percent from beyond the arc.

The statistics suggest that while defense has been reliable for Air Force – averaging over six steals per game – offensive consistency needs improvement. Their field goal percentage has hovered around forty-four percent across these matches but dipped as low as forty-two percent against SDSU in terms of two-point attempts.

Boise State Broncos will undoubtedly pose a challenge; however playing at Clune Arena could provide that extra lift for the Falcons – where crowd support and familiarity with playing conditions have proven advantageous before.
