USD center Cameron Fens on his country roots, transferring to USD from Chicago, Yotes' remarkable season

from Happy Hour with John Gaskins · host John Gaskins

Wednesday's show takes us to Vermillion and to the center of one of the most remarkable stories in college basketball this season.   Literally to the center.   South Dakota's seven-footer Cameron Fens is the Summit League's leading rebounder and the Coyotes' second-leading scorer. He poured in 14 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and threw down a thunderous two-handed jam in a heated second half in USD's emotional 68-67 win at South Dakota State on Saturday.   The win boosted the Coyotes to 6-5 in Summit League play with five games left before the Summit League Tournament, March 5-8. More specifically, USD is 6-3 since its 0-2 start in conference play and 4-2 since the league's leading scorer Isaac Bruns suffered a season-ending injury.   Many know the basic story of USD's M*A*S*H unit — five season-ending injuries and another player who left the team, forcing the mid-season acquisition of two players who thought their college careers were over, Silan Bennion and Trent Hudgens.   Fens takes us inside the ropes on the Yotes' experience of bringing in new players, how they gelled so well so fast, and what coach Eric Peterson has done to make it all work.   The Dubuque, Iowa, product also walks us through his transferring from Illinois-Chicago to USD a couple years ago, his season-ending foot injury from last year, his country roots and country music fandom, his close relationship with his father Randy — who also played college basketball as a center — and always being a "big man," both on the court and in life.
