When: Monday, December 19

Where: Clune Arena, Colorado Springs

Air Force got off to a 5-0 start this season by beating up on teams such as Johnson and Wales, Stetson and McPherson College, but then lost three in a row.

Air Force has never really been known as a basketball school and Colorado is a team that is coached well enough to make sure they don’t drop a game against a team like this, even if it is on the road.

The Buffs should have no problem being physical with this team and gaining a huge advantage in the rebound department on both sides of the floor.

Colorado cruises in the springs.

Prediction: Colorado 76, Air Force 57
