The Falcons are tops in the nation in scoring defense, allowing under 54
points per game. The lack of turnovers and the ability to dictate tempo is
always a dangerous combination in March and that should have the Falcons
ready for a win. Antoine Hood is great scorer and Jacob Burtschi, Dan
Nwaelele and Matt McCraw aren’t far behind. Nwaelele and McCraw are stellar
long range shooters and need to contained by the opposition. The biggest
advantage for Air Force is still their ability to dictate tempo. If it’s a
low scoring, grind it out game, the Falcons can win.

Finish: First Round
