What to Know
The Air Force Falcons have the luxury of staying home another game and will welcome the Idaho State Bengals at 4 p.m. ET Nov. 27 at Clune Arena. The Falcons should still be feeling good after a victory, while Idaho State will be looking to get back in the win column.
Air Force can’t say they have nothing to be thankful for this Thanksgiving week. They escaped with a win on Wednesday against the Denver Pioneers by the margin of a single free throw, 66-65. Guard A.J. Walker took over for Air Force, finishing with 27 points (a whopping 41% of their total).
As for Idaho State, it looks like they got the smaller half of the wishbone at Thanksgiving dinner. On Monday, they lost to the UMKC Kangaroos at home by a decisive 74-58 margin.
Air Force’s win brought them up to 5-1 while the Bengals’ defeat pulled them down to 1-4. A pair of offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Falcons are stumbling into the contest with the 45th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 64 on average. Idaho States have had an even harder time: they are 27th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 62.2 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
