COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Ticker) - Air Force looks to add another opponent to its list of home victims.

The No. 14 Falcons aim to remain undefeated here and complete its season series sweep when Mountain West Conference foe Colorado State comes calling on Saturday.

Air Force (22-4, 9-3 MWC) enters with the nation's longest home court winning streak having won 29 straight games in Clune Arena.

Most recently, Nick Welch scored 20 points and Dan Nwaelele chipped in 19 for the Falcons in Wednesday's 69-43 triumph over Utah.

Junior Jason Smith collected 19 points and 14 rebounds as the Rams snapped their season-worst four-game losing streak with an 82-66 victory over TCU.

Colorado State (15-9, 5-7) hopes to improve on its dismal 12-36 record in February under coach Dale Layer, who is in his seventh season with the Rams.

In their first matchup, Nwaelele's 22 points led the way for the Falcons in an 81-75 victory over the Rams, who have lost five straight in the series.
