What to Know
The Boise State Broncos are 9-3 against the Air Force Falcons since February of 2016, and they’ll have a chance to extend that success Wednesday. Boise State and Air Force will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10 p.m. ET at Clune Arena. The Broncos won’t have the home-court advantage, but they do enjoy a 10.5-point advantage in the spread.
It was close but no cigar for Boise State as they fell 77-74 to the Colorado State Rams on Sunday. The matchup was as close as the oddsmakers predicted, but Boise State had been the slight favorite coming in. They got double-digit scores from four players: guard Marcus Shaver Jr. (17), guard Max Rice (17), forward Tyson Degenhart (16), and forward Mladen Armus (11).
Meanwhile, Air Force lost to the San Diego State Aztecs on the road by a decisive 76-64 margin. The losing side was boosted by guard A.J. Walker, who had 27 points.
This next game looks promising for the Broncos, who are favored by a full 10.5 points. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past four games, so buyers beware.
Boise State is now 19-6 while the Falcons sit at 10-13. A couple numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Boise State comes into the contest boasting the 11th fewest points allowed per game in college basketball at 59.9. Less enviably, Air Force is 355th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 59.4 on average. So the cards are definitely stacked against Air Force.
