With three players having been out with injuries, first-year UNLV basketball coach Marvin Menzies hasn’t been able to fully evaluate his team.
Junior 6-foot-2-inch guard Jovan Mooring’s absence has complicated how the battle at point guard plays out. The same is true at center, with 6-11 freshman Cheickna Dembele sidelined until around the Nov. 11 season opener and 6-8 freshman forward Troy Baxter Jr. having returned to practice on Tuesday.
