Humans have been putting spherical objects in hoops for centuries, but until the invention of the dunk, the fast break, and face dribbling, it wasn't an activity worth watching. See if "basketball" lives up to the hype with today's Groupon: for $6, you get one upper-level ticket to the Air Force Falcons' February 19 men's basketball game versus the San Diego State Aztecs (a $12 value).

Helmed by fourth-year head coach Jeff Reynolds, the Air Force Falcons men's basketball team defends Clune Arena's home maple from Mountain West marauders—and is looking to knock its rivals, the San Diego State Aztecs, off of their powerhouse pedestal during the February 19 rematch. Anchored by seasoned sharpshooters Tom Fow and Evan Washington, the Falcons confound visiting opponents with fast-paced ball handling, well-crafted plays, and the military's latest dunk technology as cheers rain down from the blue and white rafters of Clune Arena. The results of this high-altitude Saturday afternoon matchup could determine conference seeding, affecting the yield potential of next year's basketball harvest.
