Marcell McCreary - DNP vs. San Jose State McCreary did not play during the Air Force's game Saturday versus San Jose State.
Camden Vander Zwaag - Part of starting lineup Saturday Vander Zwaag had 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 63-61 loss to San Jose State.
Impact Vander Zwaag was part of the Air Force's starting lineup for the first time since Jan. 3 and benefited from extended playing time. However, the senior had been part of their bench between that date and March 4, when he averaged 5.4 points and 1.3 rebounds. Those are rates fantasy managers should expect more of from Vander Zwaag, who seemingly benefited from the Air Force's Senior Day on Saturday.

Carter Murphy - Unlikely to play Friday Murphy is unlikely to play Friday against New Mexico with an undisclosed injury, Luke Zahlmann of the Colorado Gazette reports.
Impact Murphy is in danger of missing his first game of the season due to an undisclosed injury, but he's still considered a game-time decision.
