Clune Arena Showdown: Air Force Falcons to Host Colorado State Rams in Women's Basketball
As the Air Force Falcons prepare to host the Colorado State Rams at Clune Arena, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and home-court advantage may play significant roles. The upcoming match scheduled for February 1st will be a test of resilience for the Falcons, who have shown fluctuating performance in their past games.
The Falcons' last home game was a display of their capabilities, securing a victory with 70 points against Weber State Wildcats' 58. Their shooting was efficient from both inside and outside the arc, hitting 40 percent from three-point range and maintaining an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.67. This win showcased their ability to control the ball and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
However, consistency has been challenging for the team; in two subsequent away games, they faced defeats with scores of 44-75 against SMU Mustangs and 54-70 versus Clemson Tigers. The loss against SMU highlighted areas for improvement as they struggled with field goal percentage at only 25 percent and were outrebounded significantly.
Despite these setbacks on the road, playing at Clune Arena could provide an edge for the Falcons. Historically known to rally behind their home crowd's energy, they will need to leverage this support effectively.
Defensively, steals have been a strong suit for Air Force; they notched up impressive numbers with 15 against SMU and another solid performance with 16 versus Clemson. They'll aim to disrupt Colorado State's offense by continuing this aggressive defensive play.
For fans looking forward to witnessing how Air Force bounces back from their recent losses while capitalizing on their strengths such as perimeter shooting and steals, mark your calendars. The game is set to take place at Clune Arena in Colorado Springs on February 1st at local time (01:30 UTC). While broadcast networks are yet unconfirmed, stay tuned for updates on where you can catch live action as it unfolds.
