Colleges: Air Force
Late 3-pointer lifts TCU over Air Force
Taylor Broekhuis' game-tying 3-point attempt missed high on the glass as time expired. Fields' basket came after Connell Crossland grabbed the Horned Frogs' 22nd offensive rebound of the night.
Michael Lyons gave the Falcons (13-12, 3-7 Mountain West) a 62-60 lead with 57 seconds remaining on a turnaround jumper, and Air Force blocked two TCU shots before Fields' heroics. J.R. Cadot, who led the Horned Frogs (16-11, 6-5) with 16 points and 13 rebounds, hit two free throws with 3.3 seconds left to put TCU up by three.
TCU led by nine midway through the first half, but Air Force charged back with a 13-0 run. The Falcons led 32-29 at halftime despite allowing eight Horned Frogs offensive rebounds.
Trey Fallon and Landry Locker analyze TCU's season-opening loss against Baylor and look ahead to its Week 2 matchup.
Rece Davis: Top 15 team on upset alert

Air Force flies recruits out of Texas
When the Falcons (7-5) take on Houston (10-3) at 11 a.m. on Dec. 31 at Amon G. Carter Stadium, 23 Texans will be in uniform for Air Force, and a large contingent of Texans hail from the Houston area. Air Force boasts more players from Texas than any other state.
The game's obvious matchup is the Cougars' No. 1 passing offense in the nation behind quarterback Case Keenum and Air Force's top-ranked pass defense. The game is the third between the two in the last 15 months and the second in North Texas.
The first game on Sept. 28, 2008 was moved from Houston to Dallas because of Hurricane Ike. Air Force rallied for a 31-28 win at SMU's Ford Stadium and Houston took the second meeting in the 2008 Armed Forces Bowl, 34-28. The rubber match figures to be equally entertaining.
