Final
Air Force takes on GW in search of eighth straight victory
Dec 28, 2006 - 4:56 PM Geo Washington (7-2) at No. 17 Air Force (11-1) 11:30 pm ESTSANTA CLARA, California (Ticker) - After being grounded for over two weeks, Air Force hopes to pick up where it left off when it takes flight again.
The 17th-ranked Falcons aim for their eighth straight win when they take on George Washington on Thursday in the Cable Car Classic.
Since losing at Duke on November 20, Air Force has won by an average margin of 24.6 points during its seven-game winning streak.
Due to a holiday break and a weather postponement of last Saturday's game vs. Northern Colorado, the Falcons have not played since December 13, a 70-47 rout of Norfolk State.
Jacob Burtschi scored 14 points to pace four players in double figures for the Falcons, who got off to their second straight 11-1 season.
Air Force looks to improve that mark against a George Washington squad which has not played since December 12, a 72-51 triumph over Maryland-Baltimore County.
Maureece Rice had 22 points and 10 rebounds for the Colonials, who bounced back nicely from a loss to Southern California.
