Miami v. Air Force Game Thread

A trip into the thin air of Colorado. 2pm ET tipoff. Game will be on ESPN+. Game notes for Miami below, no suprises:

Air Force is currently 0-3, as the Falcons have dropped their first three games to Belmont (63-79), Austin Peay (54-74) and LIU (72-76). Air Force went 4-28 and 1-19 in conference play last year. Head coach Joe Scott enters year six in his second stint as the head coach of Air Force (10th season overall with the Falcons). Heading into the 2025- 26 season, Air Force was selected to finish 12th overall in the Mountain West Conference Men’s Basketball Preseason Poll

And here are Air Force’s game notes. Their best player is probably 6’3 G Kam Sanders a freshman averaging 14.7ppg. They have two other players averaging in double digits. 7 players average 16 or more minutes a game. Eli Robinson a 6’6” SO leads them in rebounding at 8rpg. My favorite thing about AF game notes is they tell you the squadron each player is assigned to. They have both the Redtails and the Chicken Hawks!

They’re terrible. We should beat them soundly.

Miami current Ken Pom ranking is 124. AF is 322.

I think the game be on the MW network not espn plus

You are correct, MW Network. Not ESPN. My apologies for overlooking that and assuming ESPN as usual.

Kam Sanders spent his first three years of high school at Fairfield and at one point had a Miami offer. His family moved to Georgia for his senior year and I lost track of him. Glad to see he is doing well - nice kid and family.
