SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Charles Bassey made his return from a leg injury that ended his 2019-20 season Wednesday in Western Kentucky’s season opener, and the team’s star center made sure everybody knew he was fully healthy Thursday.
Bassey had 21 points, 14 rebounds and seven blocked shots in the Hilltoppers’ 75-69 victory over Memphis in the semifinals of the Bad Boy Mowers Crossover Classic at the Sanford Pentagon to advance to Friday’s championship game.
“It was pretty good. Yesterday was my first game back since last year, Dec. 7, so it was pretty good just getting back to my old self and playing to my capabilities,” Bassey said.
