PICK: I’m going to stick with Air Force. Though the Falcons had a slim two-point lead at halftime in the Holy Cross game, they stepped it up after the break and shot 47.5 percent from the field for the game. Air Force was out-rebounded 41-25, but held the Crusaders to zero 3-pointers and just one assist. 

As for B-CU, they managed a nice effort against Bryant on Saturday but it was the first time all year the Wildcats had scored more than 55 points. If Air Force gets going I don’t think B-CU will be able to keep up.
