Fresno State Bulldogs Dominate Air Force Falcons at Save Mart Center

The Fresno State Bulldogs emerged victorious against the Air Force Falcons with a final score of 84-70. The Bulldogs now stand with an unblemished record, while the Falcons have yet to secure a win. In a game marked by lead changes and ties, the home team's offense proved too much for their opponents.

The contest was held at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, where 4,433 spectators witnessed an intense battle on the court. The Bulldogs displayed remarkable offensive efficiency, shooting 53 percent from the field and converting 76 percent of their free throws. Their prowess from beyond the arc was equally impressive as they matched their opponents with an identical three-point shooting percentage of 44.

The Bulldogs' defense played a critical role in their success, forcing turnovers that led to fast break opportunities and tallying up to 19 fast break points. Their defensive efforts were complemented by nine steals over the course of play. On offense, they outperformed in assists with a total of 19 compared to just 13 by the Falcons.

Rebounding was another area where the Bulldogs excelled; they pulled down a total of 34 rebounds—20 defensive and an impressive haul of offensive rebounds numbering at eleven—while limiting their guests to only seven offensive boards and fifteen defensive ones.

A key factor contributing to this victory was Fresno State's ability to capitalize on second-chance points; they scored fifteen compared to eight by Air Force. Additionally, despite both teams having ten or more turnovers—with ten for Fresno State—the home team managed one less point off turnovers than Air Force's fifteen.
