Clash at Clune Arena: Air Force Falcons Host UNLV Rebels in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to defend their home court against the UNLV Rebels at Clune Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's basketball. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 13th, is set against a backdrop of recent performances that paint a picture of resilience and potential for the Falcons.

The last time the Falcons took to their home court on December 16th, they secured an impressive victory over Weber State Wildcats with a final score of 70-58. Their performance was marked by balanced scoring and solid defense, as they made 40 percent from beyond the arc and shot an encouraging 80 percent from the free-throw line. This kind of sharpshooting will be crucial when facing off against UNLV.

However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for AFA in their subsequent games. A tough road loss on December 19th against Clemson Tigers saw them fall short at 54-70 despite showing tenacity with steals and forcing turnovers. Another defeat came on December 21st versus SMU Mustangs where they struggled offensively, managing only a field goal percentage of just 25 percent in a heavy loss (44-75). These setbacks highlight areas where AFA must improve – particularly in offensive consistency and rebounding – if they are to overcome their next opponents.

UNLV Rebels come into this game with their own set of strengths which could pose challenges for AFA. The Rebels' ability to control the paint has been evident in past games; thus, it will be imperative that AFA steps up its interior defense while also capitalizing on fast-break opportunities created by their aggressive defensive play style.

For fans looking forward to this matchup, there is reason to believe that if AFA can harness the energy from their home crowd at Clune Arena and replicate some of the shooting prowess displayed earlier this season – especially from downtown – they have every chance to emerge victorious.

The stage is set for what promises to be an engaging battle between these two teams. Fans can catch all the action live as it unfolds on January 13th at Clune Arena starting at 2:00 PM local time (Mountain Time Zone). With no broadcast networks listed, attending in person or checking local listings closer to game day would be advisable for those wishing not miss any part of this exciting encounter.
