Why Colorado State Will Win
Colorado State’s offense is starting to get back into rhythm after the injuries to Prentiss Nixon and J.D. Paige. The offense seems to have gotten back into a flow. They aren’t jacking up bad shots as much. They are getting the ball into the block. They are opening cutting lanes. They seem to have figured out how they need to move as a team. This Rams team has the athletic ability to compete with any team. They just need to focus. If the Rams can focus they can be dangerous.
Why Air Force Will Win
They already have. In the first match up this season, the Rams had an eight point lead with nine and half minutes left in the game. The Falcons came back and won by five. That game is in the Falcons mind. They ended a 12 game losing to the Rams. The Rams defense is susceptible to three point shooting teams getting hot. The Air Force Princeton offense is great at taking advantage of this. If the Falcons can get hot from deep, they could start a winning streak of their own.
