Scouting the Falcons
Air Force head coach Joe Scott brings his Falcons and the Princeton offense to Moby Arena on Tuesday.
This year's team had a strong non-conference season going 9-4 but have hit a rough patch to start conference play dropping their first three games.
Jake Heidbreder leads the way for the Falcons with his 15.7 points per game. He likes to attack his opponents and makes them pay shooting 88.3% from the free throw line. Heidbreder is the lone Falcon in double figures scoring.
Freshman Rytis Petraitis has made a name for himself earning the Mountain West Freshman of the Week honor four times already. He is second on the team in scoring with 9.0 points and leads Air Force in rebounding with 5.1 per game all while playing 18.4 minutes off the bench.
The Falcons have done a good job guarding the 3-point line holding opponents to 28.6% and leading the conference in blocks per game with 4.6.
What's Ahead
CSU heads to Sin City for the weekend to take on UNLV at 5 pm MT on CBS Sports Network.
