Remembering all that died for our freedom today (Remembrance Day Canada)
Posted Record = 2-0 (+2.00u)
Air Force -6
I wasn't going to bet any games today but I found this price and it is a play. Air force comes into this year with eyes forward. New coach and a much more mature roster of guys will see Air Force as a bigger presence in the mountain west. Their leader on defense Taylor Broekhuis (6'10") is a fine shot blocker and great defender who can also score when he gets in a groove. I can see him having his way with Mike Groselle (6'8") of Citadel, it certainly wont be another 20+ point night for him. Air Force is small otherwise, guard heavy, they rely on lots of perimeter shooting to score, their guards are talented and more experienced this year having battled in the very tough and under-rated mountain west last year. Citadel is not without talent or ability, Groselle is a natural scorer it's no secret that they run the offence with him as the focal point but against a team that can effectively limit him they have few answers. I like Air Force to control the tempo and play their sets, I think Citadel will get frustrated with the lack of pace and lose the defensive battles.
Best of luck on all your action, unc
