Air Force notes: Suddenly road warriors
The Falcons won back-to-back Mountain West Conference games on the road. Before a Jan. 29 win at TCU, Air Force had lost 20 straight MWC road games.
Departures hurt Utah
Utah is still trying to recover from offseason departures that drained the team. Carlon Brown and Marshall Henderson, last season’s leading scorers, both transferred during the summer. Brown transferred to CU; Henderson to Texas Tech.
