Impact With injuries currently ravaging the Friars' room of bigs, Mela was bumped into the starting lineup against the Bulldogs for his first career start. The freshman forward made the most of his time on the court, logging his second straight outing with 10 points and amassing a huge 15 rebounds over the Bulldogs. Whether he starts moving forward likely depends on forward Rich Barron's concussion status and if Bryce Hopkins (knee) even returns this season, but Mela did showcase he can be a huge contributor when playing meaningful time.
