Notes and observations as Air Force basketball opens Mountain West play at New Mexico
0 View Comments Air Force opens Mountain West play at New Mexico at 7 p.m. Wednesday, closing a rough run through the season’s first two months. Playing a schedule that ranked 344th, the Falcons (6-6) haven't beaten a Division I foe since Dec. 2 and are 325th (out of 351) in RPI. Here’s a quick look at Air Force and the conference it will be traversing over the next 18 games. The biggest problem Shooting. Shooting. And shooting. The Falcons rank ninth (out of 11) in the Mountain West with a .423 shooting percentage. When games against Division II Western State and NAIA Johnson & Wales are removed, that percentage drops to .384 – which would rank No. 344 nationally. If this doesn’t improve, teams are likely to suffocate the Falcons on the inside with zone defenses that negate the impact of the motion offense. This isn’t a team that will survive off-shooting nights, and those have been more the norm than exception through the first 10 games against … [Read more...] about Notes and observations as Air Force basketball opens Mountain West play at New Mexico
Air Force basketball buried by New Mexico in The Pit
0 View Comments Air Force’s woes followed it into Mountain West play. In a conference opener that wasn’t close after the opening minutes, New Mexico blew by the Falcons 87-58 to extend the visitor’s road losing streak in league play to 23 games. It was one of many dubious streaks that continued for Air Force (6-7, 0-1 Mountain West). The team hasn’t broken 60 points in four straight games against Division I opponents, and it shot 38 percent as it failed to hit 40 percent for the third consecutive game and sixth time in 11 games against D-1 teams. Related: Notes and observations as Air Force basketball opens Mountain West play at New Mexico The problems are many – the Falcons turned it over 17 times, had just seven assists and were outscored 33-19 in fast-break points – but as it has much of this season, it boiled down to shooting. The Falcons made just 3-of-16 3-point attempts and were outscored 42-9 from long distance. “We’re … [Read more...] about Air Force basketball buried by New Mexico in The Pit
How climate change could drive immigration to the United States from Mexico
The number of people moving from Mexico to the United States has dropped sharply over the past decade. But researchers say a new force could drive more people across the U.S.-Mexico border in the coming decades: climate change.As global temperatures continue to climb, dry regions across the world have become more susceptible to drought. That includes northern Mexico, where increasingly intense dry spells are expected to reduce crop yields in rural, agriculture-dependent areas, potentially giving people more reason to seek better opportunities in the United States. Researchers who study the link between global warming and migration say many factors contribute to a person or family's decision to move to another country, with climate change often playing a supporting role. But several studies have singled out climate change as a potentially significant driver of future U.S.-Mexico migration."It's never any one thing that causes … [Read more...] about How climate change could drive immigration to the United States from Mexico
