LAST TIME OUT: Boise State couldn't ever get clicking on offense last Saturday afternoon at Taco Bell Arena, as Fresno State was able to pull out the 63-53 win.
Boise State led 28-22 at halftime after Fresno State shot 34 percent and made 2-of-15 3-pointers. The Bulldogs – the leading 3-point shooting team in the Mountain West – eventually found their rhythm and made 5-of-8 3-pointers in the second half and outscored the Broncos 41-25.
Justinian Jessup and Alex Hobbs tied for the team high in points with 15 each. The Broncos tied their season low for made 3-pointers (4) in going just 4-of-21 (19%) from distance.
ABOUT AIR FORCE: The Falcons are led by Lavelle Scottie (13.5 ppg, 5.3 rpg) and Ryan Swan (12.5 ppg, 6.4 rpg). Air Force recently picked up home wins against San Diego State (62-48) and UNLV (106-88), and is 6-3 at Clune Arena so far this season.
The Falcons have been extremely efficient offensively, as they are the No. 3 team in the MW when it comes to field goal percentage (47.0%).
THE SERIES: Boise State owns an 11-4 advantage in the all-time series against Air Force, including a four-game winning streak. The Broncos are 4-3 in Clune Arena, as well.
GUARDED THE BULLDOGS: Despite being unable to get much going offensively, Boise State didn't stray from its consistent defensive effort against Fresno State last Saturday, holding the Bulldogs to a season-low 20 points in the first half on 10-of-29 shooting (34.5%). Fresno State improved in the second half, but the 63 points was still its second-lowest scoring output of the season.
The Broncos have the No. 2 scoring defense in the MW for league play, giving up just 63.6 points per game.
DYNAMIC DUO: Boise State's production from the two wing positions has been outstanding in its first five MW games, as Alex Hobbs (17.4 ppg) and Justinian Jessup (14.4 ppg) rank fifth and 14th in the conference for scoring in league play, respectively. Hobbs has scored 15 or more points in five-straight games while Jessup has tallied double digits in four of his last five games.
MAKING THE FREEBIES: The Broncos have been exceptional from the free throw line in Mountain West play, shooting a conference-best 81.4 percent from the charity stripe. Derrick Alston is No. 1 in the MW in free throw percentage for league, making them at a 91.7 percent clip (22-of-24) while David Wacker isn't far behind at 82.4 percent (14-of-17). Alston has made his last 19 free throws – the longest streak for any Bronco this season.
