Breaking down the UNLV basketball game against Air Force at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Thomas & Mack Center:
BACKCOURT
Air Force remains highly efficient at running its deliberate halfcourt offense even if the Falcons get out in transition more often. Trevor Lyons, Jacob Van and Zach Kocur combine to average 31.2 points and 7.7 assists. They are key to the Falcons averaging 77.5 points.
Edge: Air Force
FRONTCOURT
The Falcons have size restrictions imposed on them, so their tallest starter is 6-foot 7-inch Frank Toohey, but that doesn’t mean Air Force isn’t tough inside.
