What to Know

The San Jose State Spartans won both of their matches against the Air Force Falcons last season (59-58 and 75-62) and are aiming for the same result Tuesday. SJSU and Air Force will face off in a Mountain West battle at 10 p.m. ET at Provident Credit Union Event Center. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.

The Spartans came up short against the UNLV Rebels this past Saturday, falling 70-62. San Jose State’s defeat came about despite a quality game from forward Trey Anderson, who had 19 points in addition to nine rebounds.

Meanwhile, Air Force was expected to have a tough go of it this past Saturday, and, well, they did. They suffered a grim 73-53 defeat to the Colorado State Rams. Guard Ethan Taylor had a pretty forgettable game, picking up four fouls and turning the ball over five times en route to a 10-point finish.

Barring any buzzer beaters, SJSU is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (3-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The losses put SJSU at 7-10 and the Falcons at 9-8. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Spartans are 13th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 10.5 on average. Air Force has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 35th most turnovers per game in college basketball, having accrued 14.9 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
