AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) Antwan Scott made six 3-pointers and scored 27 points to help Colorado State hold off Air Force 83-79 on Wednesday night.

Tiel Daniels added 19 points and Joe De Ciman had 13 for the Rams (11-8, 3-3 Mountain West).

Colorado State held a 60-49 lead midway through the second half but a 15-3 Falcon run, seven of which came from Pervis Louder, surged them to a 64-63 lead.

The Rams answered with an 11-5 stretch, capped by a Scott 3 to put them back up 74-69 with 4:17 left. Air Force cut the lead to two with six seconds left, but two Scott free throws sealed it.

Hayden Graham led Air Force (10-9, 1-5) with 25 points, Zach Moer had 18.

Colorado State junior forward Emmanuel Omogbo entered the game in the first half, just a day after losing his parents and two young relatives in a house fire.
