Air Force Falcons Set to Soar at Save Mart Center Against Fresno State Bulldogs
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to face off against the Fresno State Bulldogs at the Save Mart Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent momentum. The Falcons have had a mixed bag of performances in their last few outings, showing both resilience and areas for improvement.
In their most recent game against Weber State Wildcats, the Falcons secured a victory with 70 points to 58. This win was characterized by a balanced attack and solid defense, with an impressive assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.67. Their field goal percentage stood at 40 percent and they capitalized on free throws with an accuracy of 80 percent.
However, consistency has been an issue for the Falcons as evidenced in previous games. Against SMU Mustangs and Clemson Tigers, they struggled to find their rhythm early on which resulted in losses of 44-75 and 54-70 respectively. In these matchups, turnovers were particularly problematic; they gave up possession 14 times against SMU and had a low assist-to-turnover ratio of just 0.6 versus Clemson.
Despite these setbacks, there are positive signs too. The team's defensive efforts have been noteworthy with steals reaching double digits in two out of three past games (15 against SMU and 16 versus Clemson). Additionally, three-point shooting showed promise against Clemson where they hit at a rate of nearly forty percent.
The upcoming game presents an opportunity for the Air Force Falcons to demonstrate growth from past performances while leveraging their strengths such as defensive tenacity and free throw efficiency.
Fans can catch this exciting matchup scheduled for December 30th at Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. Tip-off is set for local venue time (US/Pacific) which translates into US/Mountain time zone for away supporters following from home or elsewhere. The game will be available for viewing through designated broadcast channels or streaming services that cover college basketball events.
