COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Air Force senior guard Tim Anderson has been named the Mountain West Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Anderson, an El Paso, Texas, native, scored a game-high 27 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field to lead Air Force to a 65-53 victory over UNLV last Saturday. Anderson, who also made 9-of-12 free throw attempts, scored 21 of his points in the second half, including a stretch of 14 straight, for the Falcons. He also contributed two steals, one blocked shot and one rebound, while going 2-for-3 from three-point range.
The 6-3 guard shared player of the week honors with Kyle Spain of San Diego State on Nov. 12. Anderson led the Falcons to the Air Force Classic title with a then career-high 26 points in the championship game against Northern Colorado.
The Falcons, 9-6 overall and 1-1 in the MWC, travel to Laramie, Wyo., to face the Wyoming Cowboys on Wednesday, Jan. 16 beginning at 6:30 p.m.
