Basketball:
A healthy, effective Mayen gives the Frogs the piece off the bench they desperately need.
“Yeah, we need him,” coach Jamie Dixon said after Tuesday’s game. “He could be a really great defender, he made three shots. I think his 100 percent means he’s not playing in pain, but I think you’ll see him grow even more as he goes through freshman year like anyone else in our program.”
Mayen informed Dixon that his knee was “finally 100 percent” last week.
This is a guy who underwent surgery on a torn meniscus as a true freshman last year, which led to a redshirt season, and had another operation on the same knee.
