Dent scores 23, New Mexico knocks off Air Force 92-71

Tough shooting in return Amzil amassed three points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 73-65 loss to San Diego State.

Impact Amzil returned from a two-game absence, but he may not yet be at 100 percent, as his 15 minutes played were a season-low despite getting the starting nod. The fact he was going up against the best defense in the Mountain West may have also contributed to his 1-for-8 shooting line. He'll get a much easier matchup, and effectively an opportunity to get back into rhythm, when New Mexico hosts Air Force on Saturday.

Available vs. SDSU Amzil (foot) will be available for Tuesday's meeting with San Diego State, Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal reports.

Impact Amzil will be available after a two-game absence due to a foot injury. The senior forward will look to make an impact on the game after totaling 24 points across his last three performances.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Once again game-time decision Amzil (foot) is a game-time decision for New Mexico's game Tuesday at San Diego State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Amzil was a game-time decision before New Mexico's midweek matchup at Boise State. He did not play then. Ideally for Amzil, Tuesday will be different.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Second straight DNP Amzil (foot) did not take the court in Wednesday's 86-78 loss to Boise State.

Impact Amzil, the second-leading scorer for the Lobos, has now missed three of his last four games. His next chance to return will be Tuesday against San Diego State. Jovan Milicevic has been picking up starts in his stead.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Once again game-time decision Amzil (foot) is a game-time decision for New Mexico's game Wednesday at Boise State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Amzil was a game-time decision Feb. 12, when New Mexico and Wyoming logged their February game. He did not play then. Ideally for Amzil, the upcoming Wednesday will be different.

FEBRUARY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Injury revealed, day-to-day Amzil (foot) is day-to-day, according to Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal.

Impact Currently, it is unknown whether or not Amzil suffered a new foot injury or re-injured the same foot that affected his early-February availability. Amzil being day-to-day suggests he could be available for New Mexico's next game, making him as questionable as the Lobos prepare for a Wednesday matchup at Boise State.

FEBRUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

DNP Sunday Amzil (undisclosed) did not play in New Mexico's 82-79 victory over Utah State on Sunday, per Shawn Harrison of the Herald Journal.

Impact Amzil recently made his return following a one-game absence with a foot injury, but he was once again held out against the Lobos. It is currently unknown whether his new injury is related to the previous ailment. The 6-foot-9 senior will have to wait until Wednesday's game against Boise State for his next chance to return.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Returns in Wednesday's win Amzil (foot) ended with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 71-67 win over Wyoming.

Impact Amzil made his return to the court Wednesday after a brief one-game absence due to a foot injury. He did not do much in his 17 minutes of action as he accumulated just two points and three rebounds. Still, it was good to see his foot injury was not serious.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Wednesday Amzil (foot) is a game-time decision for New Mexico's game Wednesday against Wyoming, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Even though several days have passed since Amzil's latest DNP, he may need extra time to recover. Without him available, Jovan Milicevic was added to New Mexico's starting lineup, and he logged seven rebounds during his injured teammate's absence.

FEBRUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

DNP Saturday Amzil (foot) was held out of Saturday's matchup against Air Force while resting his injured foot, per Geoff Grammer of the Albuquerque Journal.

Impact Amzil had been struggling through a foot injury recently and was held out of Saturday's contest for rest purposes, marking his first missed game of the season. The 6-foot-9 senior has been an impact player for the Lobos this season, averaging 12.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game through 23 contests. Amzil can be looked at as questionable for Wednesday's game against Wyoming.

Impact For the first time since transferring to New Mexico, Amzil scored more than 10 points during a Lobos game.
