    Have you heard the one about Air Force basketball?

    It seems the cadets are as proficient defending the rim as they are the country.

    "We always tell the guys the key to becoming a better player starts on the (defensive) side of the ball," Air Force coach Joe Scott said. "You know, when you're holding people to 47 points a game and forcing 18 turnovers in the half-court and keeping teams to 26 percent on 3-pointers, you're out there guarding people."

    And, ultimately, beating them.

    In this case, 14 of 16 opponents this season.

    In this case, a school-record 12 straight and counting.</div>
