Army Visit Highlights Non-Conference Schedule for Air Force Men’s Basketball as Full List Released | Sports blanket
The military will travel to Clune Arena in December, highlighting the non-conference portion of an Air Force basketball schedule that was released on Thursday.
The Black Knights arrive at the academy on December 4, the last home game before the Mountain West action begins. The Air Force has dropped five of the last six meetings with the military.
The non-conference schedule does not include any games against a Power Five program for Coach Joe Scott’s team. The Falcons will host Texas Southern (Nov. 17), Denver (Nov. 24) and Idaho State (Nov. 27) ahead of the game against Army.
The trips will include a game against South Dakota in Sioux Falls, SD to open the season on November 11. There will be real road games in Montana, Arkansas State and Tarleton State, and Sunshine Slam games against Tulsa on the road and against Holy Cross and Bethune Cookman or Bryant in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Falcons return leading scorer AJ Walker (15.3 points per game) from a team that was 5-20 (3-17 Mountain West) a year ago as Scott returned to the program he had headed to a conference title under his leadership from 2000-04.
