Fans met with a bewildering conclusion when the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels caved to the Air Force Falcons in a 74-79 loss on Feb. 16.
In a surprising turn of events, the Air Force Falcons overcame the odds and earned a spot at 10th place in the Mountain West Conference.
Though it was far from an easy win for the Falcons, this game was a hard loss for the Runnin’ Rebels.
The surprise that many fans felt watching this game unfold is largely justified. The Falcons have had a very rough season so far — the team had only won three of their 13 conference games up until Tuesday evening.
