What to Know

The Air Force Falcons and the San Jose State Spartans are set to square off in a Mountain West matchup at 9 p.m. ET March 1 at Clune Arena. Air Force is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory.

The Falcons were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 69-65 to the New Mexico Lobos. A silver lining for Air Force was the play of guard Jake Heidbreder, who had 16 points along with six rebounds.

Meanwhile, SJSU was expected to have a tough go of it last Friday, and that's exactly how things played out. Their painful 77-52 defeat to the San Diego State Aztecs might stick with them for a while. Guard Alvaro Cardenas Torre wasn't much of a difference maker for SJSU; Cardenas Torre finished with only nine points on 4-for-13 shooting in his 33 minutes on the court.

The losses put Air Force at 10-17 and the Spartans at 8-20. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Falcons are 354th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 59.2 on average. SJSUs have had an even harder time: they are stumbling into the matchup with the 30th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 65 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
