Result:
WIN

AFA has been playing better of late, and St. Mary's is more of an up tempo team, so they may struggle with AFA's slow it down and "D" - it - up style. AFA has finally adjusted itself to the deaprture of head coach Joe Scott. The Academy hits some threes here and this line is a very bad one. Air Force is 23-6 ATS versus good rebounding teams (outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game) since 1997. Air Force is 13-3 ATS after allowing 65 points or less 4 straight games over the last 3 seasons. This line is too high. Yes, St. Mary's is a good team, but Air Force has started playing better and isn't that bad. They are beginning to hit their stride as they head into the Mountain West. This should be a very good ballgame. Three star pick on the Fliers.
