Broncos Buck the Falcons at Clune Arena with a Sharpshooting Second Half

In a conference game that saw the Boise State Broncos outpace the Air Force Falcons, both teams displayed their competitive spirit at Clune Arena. The Broncos, who had no rank going into the game, improved their record with a decisive 79-48 victory over the Falcons. The home team's effort was not enough to secure a win, leaving them to reflect on what could have been in this matchup.

The Air Force Falcons started strong in the first half of play, scoring 26 points against Boise State's 28. However, as the game progressed into the second half, it became evident that maintaining momentum would be challenging for the home team. The Broncos surged ahead with an impressive 51 points after halftime compared to just 22 from the Falcons.

Boise State's offensive efficiency was on full display as they shot an impressive 48 percent from field goal range and an even more remarkable 89 percent from free throw line. Their three-point shooting was also notable at 39 percent accuracy. On defense, they managed six steals and one block while committing only six turnovers throughout the game.

The Air Force Falcons showed resilience despite trailing behind their opponents. They achieved a higher two-point shooting percentage than Boise State at 57 percent and were able to block four shots defensively. However, struggles were apparent in other areas; they turned over possession fourteen times and only made five out of eighteen attempted three-pointers—a mere 28 percent success rate.

One standout statistic for Air Force was their fast break performance where they scored six points indicating moments of effective transition play. Yet this wasn't enough to counteract Boise State's dominance in paint where they scored thirty points.

Looking beyond individual statistics, it is clear that teamwork played a significant role for both sides; assists were nearly neck-and-neck with ten for Air Force and eleven for Boise State showing both teams' willingness to share ball responsibilities among players.

As fans look forward to future games, attention turns towards another challenging encounter for Air Force as they prepare to visit Utah State Aggies at Dee Glen Smith Spectrum in Logan on March 1st at 9:00 PM Mountain Time Zone (MT). This upcoming event will be broadcasted live on Fox Sports 1 ensuring supporters can follow every moment of action as it unfolds.
