00-01 Stats:
Air Force | MWC

The lowdown
2000-01 record: 8-21; 3-11 in MWC (8th)
Final Ranking: NR
Postseason: None

Three Questions for 2001-02
1. How do the Falcons replace Jarvis Croff's leadership and scoring?

2. Will Robert Todd and Tom Bellairs get more help, especially inside and defensively against the power interior teams?

3. Will Joe Scott's Princeton style offense be more effective in the second season of running it in Colorado Springs?

Andy Katz's Scenarios
Best case: Finish seventh and be a tough team to beat at the Academy.

Worst case: Struggle to get out of eighth, can't win on the road and be an easy team to score on in the post.
