Air Force Falcons Set to Challenge Nevada Wolf Pack at Lawlor Events Center
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to face off against the Nevada Wolf Pack at the Lawlor Events Center, fans are eager for a glimpse of what might unfold on January 10th. The Falcons, coming off a recent string of games that have tested their mettle, are looking to assert themselves in this upcoming contest.
In their last game on January 6th against the Wyoming Cowgirls, the Falcons were unable to secure victory, falling short with 51 points against the Cowgirls' 68. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways; notably their three-point shooting accuracy stood at an impressive 50 percent. However, they struggled in other areas such as two-point field goals and total rebounds where they only managed a 39 percent success rate and gathered just 18 rebounds respectively.
The game prior to that saw a more favorable outcome for AFA when they triumphed over San Diego State Aztecs in an overtime thriller on January 4th. The final score read Air Force Falcons: 71 - San Diego State Aztecs: 63. Their tenacity was evident as they outmaneuvered SDSU with steals and capitalized on turnovers scoring a total of sixteen points from these opportunities.
However, it's crucial not to overlook their December encounter with Fresno State Bulldogs where despite showcasing defensive prowess with ten steals and three blocks, AFA fell short by ten points ending the game at Fresno State Bulldogs: 59 - Air Force Falcons:49. Their field goal percentage was low at just thirty-two percent which ultimately contributed significantly to their defeat.
The upcoming challenge against NEV will be no easy feat; NEV is known for its strong home-court advantage and passionate fan base in Reno. For AFA to emerge victorious from Lawlor Events Center – an arena that has been less than kind to visiting teams – it will require them not only maintaining their three-point efficiency but also improving two-point conversions and rebounding which have been areas of concern recently.
A key factor could be how well AFA can control turnovers while forcing NEV into mistakes themselves; this has proven effective for them before as seen in previous games where points off turnovers played a significant role in keeping them competitive.
Falcons fans should mark their calendars for January 10th when tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 PM local time (Mountain Time Zone) at Lawlor Events Center in Reno NV zip code area of 89557 USA. Those who cannot attend can catch all the action live as it unfolds from wherever they are located.
