Men's basketball: Air Force vs. Boise State preview
Boise State at Air Force
Saturday, 7 p.m., Clune Arena
Boise State (10-12, 0-7 Mountain West), last game: 65-49 loss vs. New Mexico
About the Broncos: The first time Boise State played the Falcons, Air Force dominated the game and got its only conference win to date. The Broncos want revenge, and their first conference win. Boise State has been competitive in most games in conference play, but hasn’t pulled out a close win. Injuries have also been a constant issue this season.
Air Force (11-10, 1-6 Mountain West), last game: 67-49 loss at Colorado State
About the Falcons: Air Force will play a little differently under interim coach Dave Pilipovich. Most of the slight changes won’t be obvious, such as simplifying the plays on offense and defense, but one that could be noticeable is a few more fast breaks. Pilipovich said he wants to push the ball more, to get Air Force’s offense going.
