Clune Arena Hosts Air Force Falcons and Denver Pioneers in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to welcome the Denver Pioneers to Clune Arena for an exciting women's basketball game, fans are anticipating a competitive matchup. The venue, known for its high altitude in Colorado Springs, could play a significant role as visiting teams often struggle with the thinner air which may give the home team an edge.
Reflecting on last season's performance, the Falcons showed determination but faced challenges on the court. With an overall field goal percentage of 32 percent and a free throw percentage of 77 percent, there is room for improvement in their shooting accuracy. Their true shooting percentage stood at 41 percent, indicating that efficiency in scoring was an area of concern.
From beyond the arc, they managed a three-point percentage of 30 percent while their two-point attempts were converted at a slightly higher rate of 33 percent. These statistics suggest that working on shot selection and offensive schemes could be key factors for success in their upcoming game.
Defensively, they demonstrated tenacity with an average of 11 steals per game; however, discipline might be needed as they averaged nearly 18 personal fouls per contest. On average, they scored 53 points and provided about 11 assists per game last season – numbers that highlight both their ability to create scoring opportunities and areas where increased teamwork could prove beneficial.
Rebounding was steady with an average of 28 boards per game but increasing this number could provide more second-chance points and limit opponents' opportunities. The team will also need to focus on reducing turnovers which averaged at about 15 per game previously.
The Falcons will look to leverage these insights into tangible improvements as they face off against Denver Pioneers. Fans can expect a spirited effort from both sides with each team eager to set a positive tone for their seasons ahead.
The action unfolds at Clune Arena on November 7th. Fans can catch all the excitement live as both teams vie for victory on this early-season encounter.
