Air Force won its 10th straight last night in its conference opener against Colorado State. Both teams went into the game with a streak of 9 wins. It turned out to be one of its toughest games yet. Think of it as an early lesson for going into the conference schedule in the MWC, which had a great year against non-conference opponents. The Rocky Mountain News has the story. Photo by AP.
Both came in dripping with experience and confidence. And both played with impressive skill and passion, sharing the ball and taking well-conceived shots before a loud, appreciative crowd of 7,280.

"I cannot say enough about our players. How many teams in the top 150 teams in the country have played only six games in their home arena and have a record like we have?"
