AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo.—Andrew Henke scored 21 points in Air Force’s 57-36 win over TCU Wednesday.
The win gives Air Force (15-13, 7-8 Mountain West) sole possession of sixth place in the conference, while TCU (14-14, 6-9) drops to seventh.
Air Force led 24-17 at the break and took charge early in the second half despite the 3-point shooting of Keion Mitchem, who finished with 16 points to lead TCU scoring.
“I felt good tonight,” Henke said after hitting six of eight 3-point attempts. “I came in a little extra early today, to get some extra shots and it felt good. I stood here and worked on my form little bit.”
Anwar Johnson, with a career-high six assists, was among the teammates getting the ball to Henke.
“I was looking more to pass than shoot tonight,” Johnson said. “I was especially looking for Andrew.”
Air Force coach Jeff Reynolds praised Henke’s performance.
“Andrew’s really worked on his game,” Reynolds said. “Not only does he shoot well off the pass, but also off the dribble. He really helped us stretch it out tonight.”
The Falcons lead by 17 at 49-32 in the second half and TCU could get no closer than 11 points as Air Force coasted to the win.
The win completes a season-series sweep for the Falcons, who won the earlier meeting 56-46 in Fort Worth.
Air Force finishes regular-season play on Saturday, hosting San Diego State.
