San Diego State attempts to become one of the first Mountain West teams to win a conference road game after home teams went 5-0 on Wednesday
In the locker room before their Mountain West basketball opener against Air Force, the San Diego State coaches were discussing the night’s other four games that night and who would win.
Now the Aztecs get to experience the bumpy road, playing at UNLV on Saturday on national TV and then at Wyoming a week later. In the past 11 years, it’s ranked outside the top 13 of Div. I’s 32 conferences in home record only once. Five times, it’s been in the top six. Two years ago, when most venues across the country had no crowds because of the pandemic and the only real road factor was travel, it ranked No. 1 at 68.2 percent.
Air Force runs the patient, plodding Princeton offense and plays a man-to-man defense than switches everything — ball screens as well as pin-down, flare, flex, brush and cross screens. UNLV pushed the ball for quick shots and plays a “no middle” defense that coaxes you to one side of the court and doesn’t let you back.
