The Falcons have not won three straight games in conference since Feb. 10-17, 2007, when they beat New Mexico, Utah and Colorado State. Air Force has a chance to match that against TCU, coming off wins against Wyoming and San Diego State. That would be a nice winning streak for the program, and would put Air Force closer to the outside chance of getting the fifth seed in the conference tournament.
If Air Force wins, it will probably be because Michael Lyons has another good game. He is trying to score 20 points for the fourth straight game. No Falcons player has done that since Otis Jones over the last four games of the 1994-95 season.
This game was lost with lazy passes, Af was outrebounded and frankly outcoached. The last 11 seconds we blew 5 sec. With Lyons looking at Coach and Coach looking at Lyons. But, Coach is learning as we go too. Therefore, we set it up and go to UNLV with a fresh loss. I am sure Coach P would like to have this one back! WE JUST LOOKED TIRED…Lyons, Fletcher just looked worn out tonight. The inside play worked grwat rhe second half, again …we blew Four passes that turned it over and gave TCU the open door. Shake it off Falcons. We have three tough games to prepare for one at a time.
If Hammonds and Broekhuis don’t show up tonight, this one could have gotten ugly. We hold their leading scorer to 3 points and he fouls out and we still couldn’t put it away. This game was like a repeat nightmare.
