Men's Basketball Southern Conference

Former Terriers Sign Pro Basketball Contracts

Former Wofford men's basketball standouts Mike Lenzly and Lee Nixon have
signed professional contracts overseas.

Lenzly will be playing with Trierer in the top league in Germany, while
Nixon has inked a deal with St. Polten of the top division in Austria.

Both Lenzly and Nixon graduated from Wofford in May with degrees in
business economics.

Lenzly was the only player in the SoCon this past season to rank in the
Top 10 in scoring (No. 7, 15.7 ppg) and assists (No. 8, 4.1 apg) in
addition to the Top 20 in rebounding (No. 20, 5.0 rpg). He was also the
lone player in the league to top his team in all three categories.

The 6-foot-3 Lenzly led the Terriers in rebounding in each of the last
two seasons and was Wofford's No. 17 career scorer with 1,333 points.
The Jonesboro, Ga., native is the only player in Terrier history to
record a triple-double when he totaled 21 points, 12 assists, and 10
rebounds in a 105-69 victory over Chattanooga in the 2000-01 campaign.

Nixon earned All-SoCon honors after ranking 12th in the league in
scoring with a 14.8 average. He is the Terriers' No. 19 career scorer
with 1,229 points. He had two of the biggest shots this season for
Wofford. His 3-pointer from NBA range with 5.2 seconds to play gave the
Terriers a 73-70 win over Georgia Southern. He also hit a running
jumper with 0.2 seconds remaining to tie the game and force overtime in
an eventual 94-93 Wofford victory at VMI.

The Hanahan, S.C., native had 10 straight points in a 2:50 stretch as
Wofford turned a late two-point lead into a 10-point margin en route to
a 79-71 win over Chattanooga. He also earned SoCon Player of the Week
honors when his season-high 27 points keyed a 79-77 win at Virginia
Tech.
