What you need to know about Fresno State

The Falcons ended a four game losing streak in a big way on Tuesday, soundly defeating Air Force 65-40. The Bulldogs held the Falcons to just 15 first-half points and then outscored them 42-25 in the second half. Orlando Robinson led Fresno State with 26 points as he went 10-for-11 from the free throw line.

Robinson scored just 11 points when Fresno knocked off New Mexico in January, but Anthony Holland scored 22 to lead the Bulldogs. However, Fresno isn't known for its offense but rather its stifling defense. The Bulldogs allow the third-fewest points per game (57.4) in college basketball and sport a 12-1 record when keeping an opponent under 60 points.

What you need to know about New Mexico

The Lobos ended a three game losing streak on Saturday with a come-from-behind 69-65 victory over Air Force. New Mexico went into the locker room at halftime with a six-point deficit but outscored the Falcons 45-35 in the second half for the win. Jamal Mashburn Jr. led the team with 24 points while he and Jaelen House (16 points) combined to go 17-for-19 from the charity stripe.

Mashburn is averaging 17.9 points per game in his first year with the Lobos program after transferring from Minnesota. House is right behind him at 16.5 PPG which gives the Lobos two players in the top 11 in scoring in the MWC. While scoring isn't an issue, New Mexico's problems lie on the defensive end as it allows 76.5 PPG in conference play which is the most in the Mountain West.
