Air Force vs New Mexico

Recommended Posts

Wacky MWC Part 2: What? Now Air Force plays home and home vs New Mexico...........It keeps on getting real in MWC action: Air Force gave pre-season #15 USU their 3rd loss, then last night San Jose State (picked last in pre-season poll) gave 3-0 Nevada their first loss 70-68 and ……..Our men are obviously coming off a very good win with exceptional play on both ends of the court and hit to the Pit to face a dangerous NM team that plays fast and aggressive.  The Lobos are 3-1 and beat Fresno State this week 78-64 at home with 6'9" Jackson leading the way with 29pts/13rebs to include a blistering 6-7 from the 3pt arc.  They have two bigs that combined for 12pts (Manigault 6'9"/Bragg 6'10") and while the team doesn't emphasize the 'bigs' underneath their team plays long on both ends of the court and with an attacking mentality.  AF will see full court pressure similar to what UNLV did so the key for the Falcons will be to get down the court as quick as possible to try to get into an effective half court offense.  … More at https://bit.ly/30Ms9xP ...GO FALCONS BEAT NM Rick '77

Not sure what i25 is like coming over the pass from CO fo NM, but an easy drive down if its good. After three weeks up here in Alaska, and freezing my... well you know... im ready for some sunshine!

This -40+ with wind chills of -70+, is just brutal!

Edit: GO LOBOS!

No one talking about this.   3pts at half by NM, AF took the lead by two but then trailed and couldn’t even up.  AF lost this game as much as NM won it. AF Step out of bounds on made 3 to tie at 3 mins.  Down by three inside a min and two empty handed trips down court with essentially one unforced TO. Good effort on the road but a loss.  Final 84-78.

I was too busy watching my Vikings get trucked by the 9ers. Lobos are winning based on talent alone. AFA will be tough to beat at home.

New Mexico had that gam ready to explode and somehow Air Force found a way back into it. Kudos to the Falcons because I don’t think it was a case of New Mexico playing bad that let Air For e back in it.  Curious decision by Air Force to foul when down 3 and 40+ seconds to go.
