AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. (AP) - Nick Welch tied a career high with 20 points and Dan Nwaelele added 19 as No. 17 Air Force extended its home winning streak to 29 straight with a 69-43 win over Utah on Wednesday night.
The Falcons (22-4, 9-3 Mountain West Conference) are tied with Brigham Young for the longest home winning streak in the nation after Gonzaga's 50-game home win streak was snapped Monday night by Santa Clara.
The Falcons haven't lost at Clune Arena since a 65-56 loss to Utah on Feb. 19, 2005. They've now won 53 of their last 54 games at home.
Jacob Burtschi added nine points and seven rebounds.
The Utes (9-15, 4-7) were led in scoring by Luke Nevill with 16 points. Ricky Johns had seven points as Utah's two-game winning streak was ended.
