Clune Arena Hosts Air Force Falcons and UNLV Rebels in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Air Force Falcons prepare to welcome the UNLV Rebels to Clune Arena for an exciting evening of women's basketball, fans can anticipate a game filled with strategic plays and determined efforts from both sides. The upcoming match, scheduled for January 13th, will see the Falcons aiming to leverage their home court advantage in Colorado Springs.

The Falcons' recent performances have been a mix of highs and lows. In their last three games, they've experienced two losses and one victory. Despite falling short against SMU with 44 points to SMU's 75, and Clemson with 54 points to Clemson's 70, the team showed resilience by bouncing back against Weber State with a solid win at home scoring 70 points against Weber State’s 58.

Analyzing their past performances reveals some trends that could influence the upcoming game. The Falcons have demonstrated strength in steals averaging over 14 per game across these matches which indicates an aggressive defensive strategy that could disrupt UNLV’s offense. However, they'll need to improve on their field goal percentage which has been hovering around just over thirty percent in recent games.

One positive trend is their three-point shooting performance against Clemson where they hit nearly forty percent from beyond the arc; replicating this accuracy could be key against UNLV. Additionally, maintaining a high assists turnover ratio as seen in their win at Clune Arena will be crucial for ball control and creating scoring opportunities.

The venue itself may play into Air Force’s hands; historically teams tend to perform better at home due to familiar surroundings and supportive crowds. With Clune Arena set as the backdrop once again, it might just give them that extra boost needed for victory.

Fans can catch all the action on January 13th at Clune Arena or tune into local broadcasts starting at eight o'clock in the evening Mountain Time Zone (MT).
