The Spartans led by two at the half, 35-33, but Air Force posted a 44-35 point differential in the second 20 minutes to win at home 77-62. Little (relatively speaking at 6-foot-2) Tre' Coggins led with 27 points and 6-foot-9 teammate Marek Olesinski finished with 19 points, with both shooting 5-8 from long distance.
The Falcons won the rebounding battle 34-21 and shot 57%, 46% and 79% respectively. However, they did commit 23 turnovers.
With 12 points, Rashad Muhammad as usual led San Jose State University in scoring but shot 3-12 overall while Chris Cunningham and Jaleel Williams each totaled 11 points. The Washington Square-ites committed 23 fouls to 16 for the hosts.
Air Force beat reporter Brent Briggeman/The Gazette game reports.
Next up for the Spartans is Wyoming on Saturday.
By the way, New Mexico lost in The Pit tonight, 76-73, to UNLV. Maybe the Lobos aren't as vaunted this season as many prognosticated or maybe it was a blip.
