Air Force is coming into this game with a 4-27 record this season and they are 1-19 in the conference. They have been awful in their recent games as they have lost their last 4 straight games with all 4 of those losses coming by 20+ points. Their offense has not been good in those games and neither has their defense, but they are going to be hungry to end the season strong and will have some pride in this tournament. They are going up against a UNLV team that is 17-14 this season and they are 11-9 in the conference. They were struggling for most of the season, but they have been much better in their last few games now. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 6 of their last 8 games, but they are still coming off of an 81-67 loss against New Mexico in their last game. They have been much better in their recent games, but they also have not been blowing many teams out. Only 1 of their last 4 wins was by 10+ points and a majority of their wins in the conference this season were by single digits as well. UNLV did win both games against Air Force this season by around 20 points each, but they have also struggled with some of the bad teams in the conference as well. UNLV is also a bottom 50 team in the country when it comes to shot attempts, both from the field and from the 3, so they are not going to take a lot of shots in this game and will not need to if they get a big lead, taking their foot off the gas and allowing Air Force to make it a closer game in the end. Air Force will cover the spread in this game.
