AIR FORCE AT A GLANCE:
The Falcons are 7-3, 4-1 MWC, when playing at home and have won the last four home games. Contrarily, Air Force struggles on the road, losing eight-straight road contests while winning only one of 10 away games on the season. As a team, the Falcons average 62.0 points per game, but score just 54.6 points per game (-5.4), when playing on the road. Three Falcons have double-figure scoring averages in MWC-only play, led by Kaelin Immel, who recently registered a career-high 30-point game in the win against San Jose State (Jan. 26).
THE GOOD:
-Home wins: Air Force has a .700 win-percentage win playing at home, and a .800 conference win-percentage on the home court
-Trending Up: The Falcons are 7-6 in its last 13 MWC contests dating back to last season, it is the first time for the program to have four MWC wins in January
-In the MWC: Air Force has the third-best rebounding offense (39.4) and steals per game (10.4) in the conference
-At the Line: Free throw shooting has improved considerably from .591 in non-conference play to .694 in league action
-Standings: The Falcons are sitting in seventh place in the MWC standings, ahead of Nevada, San Diego State, Colorado State, and San Jose State.
-Youth: Two sophomores and three freshmen made up the Falcons' starting five in the last game. The same five account for Air Force's top-five scorers. As this team continues to develop, expect Air Force to make significant gains with each passing season.
THE BAD:
-Shooting: In the MWC, Air Force has the third-lowest three-point percentage (.284), the second-lowest field-goal percentage (.360) and the lowest free-throw percentage (.636).
-Turnovers: Air Force turns the ball over twice as many times as assists the make for the lowest assist/turnover ratio in the MWC. The Falcons averaged 19 turnovers per game in non-conference play and have maintained that number to this date.
-Road Games: The Falcons are 1-9 on the road this season and have not seen victory over a league opponent while playing away games.
