AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (Interstat) — The surging Northern Colorado Bears, off to their best start in years, will face the Air Force Falcons in a nonconference men’s basketball matchup on Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2025, at Clune Arena.

Northern Colorado (5-1) enters the contest riding high after a 97-93 shootout victory over Cal State Fullerton on Sunday. Guard Zach Bloch led the way with a career-high 32 points in that win, while forward Brock Wisne nearly notched a double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds. The Bears’ only loss this season came by a single point on the road against Saint Thomas (Minn.).

Air Force (3-4) is looking to build momentum after snapping a two-game skid with a 98-85 home win over IU Indy. The Falcons were powered by a 27-point performance from Lucas Hobin and a near triple-double from Eli Robinson, who finished with 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.

The game pits Northern Colorado’s high-powered offense against an Air Force squad that has found its footing at home, winning its last two games at Clune Arena by an average of 16.5 points. The Bears have shown resilience in close games, with two of their five wins coming in overtime.

Wednesday’s contest is the final nonconference home game for the Falcons before they begin Mountain West Conference play next month. Northern Colorado continues its road swing before returning home to face Regis on Saturday.
