Hurry up and wait.
Based on the stats, that should pretty much sum up Saturday’s game in Clune Arena on the campus of the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The UNM Lobos (8-14, 1-8 Mountain West) rank 20th out of 358 Division I programs in tempo. They like to run and shoot early in the shot clock before the defense is set. On the other end, their defensive struggles haven’t exactly led to other teams needing much time to find the shots they like.
The host Air Force Falcons (10-10, 3-6) meanwhile, rank 345th in tempo and run a deliberate, methodical offense that limits the number of possessions in a game.
