Preview: Air Force Falcons vs. Colorado State Rams - Mountain West Women’s Basketball Championship LAS VEGAS (Interstat) — The surging Air Force Falcons will face a formidable challenge when they meet the Colorado State Rams in the Mountain West Women’s Basketball Championship on Tuesday, March 10, 2026. The Falcons (16-17) enter on a three-game winning streak, including a 68-66 victory at Boise State on Monday, to keep their season alive. Their run has been fueled by the spectacular play of guard Milahnie Perry, who is averaging 26.3 points over her last three games. She scored 27 points with six assists in the win over Boise State after a 33-point performance against San Diego State on Sunday. Colorado State (25-7), the tournament’s top seed, presents a significant hurdle. The Rams, ranked nationally, have won eight of their last nine games, including a narrow 61-59 win over Grand Canyon on Sunday. They boast a balanced attack led by guard Lexus Bargesser, who scored 19 points in that victory. Bargesser also had 16 points in the Rams’ 66-52 home win over Air Force on Feb. 28. The season series favors Colorado State, which swept the two regular-season meetings. The Rams won 66-52 in Fort Collins last month and edged the Falcons 65-63 in Colorado Springs on Jan. 14. For Air Force to pull the upset, it will need another high-volume scoring night from Perry while finding a way to slow Colorado State’s efficient offense. The Rams have held opponents under 66 points in seven of their last nine wins. Conversely, the Falcons must improve upon their offensive output from the last matchup, where they were held to 52 points on 34.5% shooting. The game tips off at 9 p.m. EDT at the Thomas & Mack Center. The winner advances to the tournament semifinals, with Air Force seeking to extend its unexpected run and Colorado State aiming to solidify its NCAA Tournament resume.
