Air Force is out to prove that it belongs with the big boys of basketball. After taking a lot of heat for making the NCAA tournament last year after playing a fairly weak non-conference schedule, it seems that Air Force has a chip on its shoulder. So far this year, Air Force (7-1) has whooped up on some teams from the major conferences, like Stanford, Colorado, Texas Tech, and now Wake Forest (their only loss was to Duke). Wake Forest came into Colorado Springs with a 5-0 record, although none of the teams they'd faced to this point was close to Air Force in talent. Notice I said Colorado Springs instead of Air Force's Clune Arena. This game was played in the "neutral" World Arena. Air Force has only played two home games so far, because no one wants to play them at Clune Arena, where they have won 41 out the last 42 games. Bob Stephens from the Winston-Salem Journal has more on Wednesday night's 94-58 trouncing. Brian Gomez from the Colorado Springs Gazette offers his account of the game.
