Jeffrey Mills - Scores 17 points Mills (undisclosed) logged 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal across his 24 minutes during the Air Force's 74-63 loss Tuesday at Wyoming.

Impact Despite appearing to be out for the Air Force's game Tuesday, Mills was available instead and excelled as one of their reserves then. Currently, chances are high that he re-enters the Air Force's starting lineup before they participate in the 2024 Mountain West Tournament. After all, Mills has started in all but one of his 26 games this season, and he excelled during that lone matchup.

Byron Brown - Comes up short vs. Cowboys Brown logged 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 74-63 loss to Wyoming.

Impact Brown was one of the most productive Falcons during Tuesday night's loss, as he put up 16 points with fairly efficient shooting splits of 46.2/33.3/100 in just 23 minutes. The junior from Arizona is averaging just 5.2 points per game, but now he's finished in double-figures in three of the Falcons' last four games. Expect Brown to keep getting better as Air Force finishes its remaining Mountain West schedule.

Kolby Gilles - Will miss rest of season Gilles will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season with an ankle sprain, Carson Field of The Colorado Gazette reports.

Impact Gilles has logged 16 appearances this season as a freshman, but all of them have come off the bench, and he has played double-digit minutes just once, so his fantasy appeal has not been very high. Ergo, his absence is not going to affect many fantasy lineups down the stretch.

Mills leads Air Force against San Jose State after 20-point showing

Air Force visits the San Jose State Spartans after Jeffrey Mills scored 20 points in the Falcons' 68-66 loss to the Fresno State Bulldogs

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • Associated Press

Impact The 6-foot-5 junior has really struggled as of late, putting up just 7.2 points per game while shooting 31 percent from the field across his last 5 outings. Despite his recent shooting slump, Taylor has been productive for the Falcons this season, averaging 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. He'll look to bounce back and help snap Air Force's five-game losing streak Tuesday against San Jose State.

Impact Mills was the Falcons' most effective scorer during Saturday's loss, putting up 20 points while shooting almost 62 percent from the field and 44 percent from behind the arc. The junior guard has been doing it all for Air Force, as he's averaging 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game across 23 contests. Mills will look to help the Falcons avoid a six-game losing streak as Air Force takes on San Jose State on Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Byron Brown - Scores 10 in loss Brown had 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 loss to Fresno State.

Impact Brown was moved into the starting lineup for the second game in a row and he was productive, dropping 10 points on 50 percent from the field. The 6-foot-4 junior was also able to impact the game on the defensive end of the court with two blocks and one steal. With Brown's recent uptick in minutes, expect him to continue putting up solid numbers as the Falcons take on San Jose State on Tuesday.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Rytis Petraitis - Impressive outing in loss Petraitis supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists, one block and five steals over 40 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 loss to Fresno State.

Impact Petraitis was doing it all for the Falcons' during Saturday's loss, as he led the team in rebounds, assists and steals. The sophomore from Arlington has put together a really nice season thus far, averaging 14.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game across 16 outings. Expect Petraitis to continue producing for the Falcons as they look to get their second Mountain West win Tuesday against San Jose State.

FEBRUARY 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Beau Becker - Struggles from behind the arc Becker recorded 17 points (8-18 FG, 1-9 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 68-66 loss to Fresno State.

The 6-foot-7 junior has appeared in 23 games for Air Force this season, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game on 51.5/41.9/69.2 shooting splits. Becker will take the court once again Tuesday against San Jose State, where the Falcons will try and snap a five-game losing streak.
