GAMES 23-24: MARIAN AT LAKELAND // AT CONCORDIA CHI.

FIVE KEY STORYLINES1 CONTROLLING THEIR DESTINY: The Sabres control their own destiny for the top seed in

the NACC tourney as they hold a one game lead in the NACC standings with three games left to go.

2 HIGH PERCENTAGE SHOT: Marian leads the league in field goal percentage at 48.3%

during conference play. The Sabres have eclipsed 50% seven times during the regular season.

3 MAGIC NUMBER: The Sabres are 13-3 this season when scoring 70 points or more and

saw their 7-game win streak snapped by Aurora last time out. As a team, Marian is averaging

76.9 ppg in NACC play, which ranks fifth in the league.

4 WELCOME TO THE CLUB: Seniors Jeff Harris and Cody Veleke have already eclipsed

the 1,000 career points milestone this season. Senior Sam Koslowski is also within reach,

needing just 11 points to reach 1,000. Should he do so, Marian would be only the fourth known

team to accomplish the feat since the 1996-97 season.

5 A LOOK AHEAD: After this week, Marian will have one game remaining in the regular

season before tournament play as they host Concordia Wisconsin on Senior Night, Feb. 19.

LAST TIME OUT The Sabres were handed back-to-back losses for the first time since November as MSOE and Aurora claimed victories last week. Marian continues to lead the NACC, but has seen its lead dwindle to just a game ahead of MSOE with three games left to play. Against the Raiders last Wednesday, the Sabres fell behind 13-0 out of the gate and trailed by as many as 19 points before cutting the deficit to six points at halftime. Marian got to within three points before MSOE pulled away thanks to a 37-for-45 performance at the free throw line. The Sabres, meanwhile, went just 37.7 percent from the field and got to the foul line only 14 times, to which it converted 11 in a 77-66 loss. Alex Stecker led just two Sabres in double figures with 13 points. MSOE’s Austin Stueck led all scorers with 24. Against Aurora, Marian led by 12 points inside of the 7:00 mark of the second half before the Spartans put together a 22-5 run to close out the game and win 78-73. The Sabres were uncharacteristically careless with the basketball down the stretch and allowed the Spartans to shoot over 50 percent in the second half and control the glass at a margin of 39-21. Aurora pulled down 15 offensive rebounds en route to 14 second-chance points. Sam Koslowski led all scorers with 18 points, while Jeff Harris and Josh Creed both chipped in 12. Kalmon Stokes led four Spartans in double figures with 17 points. SCOUTING THE MUSKIES Lakeland College recently had its five-game winning streak and undefeated home record snapped following an 87-76 defeat at the hands of Wisconsin Lutheran back on Feb. 5. The Muskies, now 10-1 at home, are currently third in the standings with an outside shot to still grab the top seed leading up to the start of the NACC tournament. The Muskies rank first in the league in points (85.5), field goal percentage (48.0), three-point percentage (37.4) and steals per game (9.2). The lone area of struggle for Lakeland has been rebounding as it ranks 11th in offensive rebounds per game (9.0) and 10th in rebounding margin (-3.9). Senior Justin Ward may be the leading candidate for NACC Player of the Year, averaging 22.6 points on nearly 60 percent shooting, while adding 10.3 rpg and over 2.5 blocks per contest. James Oshkeshequoam and Joey Burris come in at 16.2 and 14.1 points per game, respectively. Burris adds a team-best 3.9 assists per game as well.

ALL-TIME VERSUS LAKELAND The Sabres and Muskies will meet for the 62nd time in the all-time series with the Muskies holding a slim 31-30 edge in the series. The Sabres snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Muskies with an 83-75 win at home back on Jan. 16. In the win, Alex Stecker poured in a career-high 21 points and added seven rebounds and four assists to lead the Sabres. Cody Veleke scored 16 points, while Jeff Harris added 13 as Marian shot nearly 50 percent from the field. Lakeland was led by James Oshkeshequoam’s 19 points. Justin Ward was held to 11 points and eight rebounds as he fouled out late in the game. The Muskies shot just 42.6 percent and were outscored 32-24 in the paint. The last Marian win inside Woltzen Gym came back on Dec. 4, 2004 by a score of 67-59.

A LOOK AT THE COUGARS Concordia University Chicago enters the week having suffered nine straight losses dating back to early January. CUC is coming off back-to-back league defeats to Benedictine and Wisconsin Lutheran. The Cougars rank second in the league, averaging 39.8 rebounds per game, but are seventh in scoring (75.2), 11th in three-point percentage (27.5) and they rate as the worst free throw shooting team in the conference (62.3). Senior Marcus Elston leads four Cougars averaging in double figures with 15.1 points per game to go along with 10.8 rebounds per contest. Mike Walmer adds 14.3 ppg, followed by Brandon Stinson and Nat Pearson, who chip in 14.1 and 10.7 ppg, respectively. Walmer and Stinson average 3.5 and 3.6 assists per game as well.

ALL-TIME VERSUS CONCORDIA CHICAGO The Sabres and Cougars will meet for the 18th time in the series. With a 76-61 victory in their last meeting back on Dec. 14, Marian claimed a 9-8 lead in the series. The Sabres claimed the win at home behind a solid defensive effort as they turned 19 CUC turnovers into 25 points. Senior Jeff Harris became the 16th member of Marian’s 1,000-point club with 13 points off the bench. Sam Koslowski led all scorers with 17 points.

KOSLOWSKI, SABRES FEATURED ON FOX11-GREEN BAY Senior Sam Koslowski suffered a career-threatening ACL injury as a senior at St. Mary’s Central in Neenah. He wasn’t sure about his basketball future until a letter from Coach Mark Boyle inspired him to recovery and towards becoming a member of the Marian University men’s basketball program. Watch the feature, courtesy of Fox11’s Jude Wilbers.

BOYLE APPEARS ON D3HOOPS.COM’S “HOOPSVILLE” Head Coach Mark Boyle made his first-ever appearance on D3Hoops.com’s “Hoopsville,” a radio show dedicated to Division III basketball and hosted by Dave McHugh. Boyle discussed the impressive turnaround from a 2010-11 squad that went 4-21 to the team’s 14-4 start at the time of the interview, Jan. 26. You can listen to the archived audio by clicking this link (Fast-forward to 36:45 to hear Boyle’s interview): Hoopsville - Jan. 26

OFFENSIVE EXPLOSION The Sabres scored 80 or more points in three consecutive games between Dec. 20, 2013-Jan. 11, 2014, going 2-1 in that span. After falling to Aurora, 106-101, Marian rebounded with an 82-74 win over Benedictine (Jan. 4) and an 83-70 victory over Rockford (Jan. 11). It marked the first time the Sabres scored 80 or more points in three straight games since Dec. 4-16, 2007. In those three games, Marian defeated Lakeland, Concordia Wisconsin and Wisconsin Lutheran - all at home - on the way to a 15-11 overall record, including an 11-6 mark in conference play. So far this season, Marian has eclipsed 80 points seven times and is averaging 76.1 ppg through 22 games. It’s the most a Marian team has averaged in a season since the 2007-08 season when the Sabres averaged 74.1 ppg and is 6.1 points more than last year’s squad.

MAGIC NUMBERS When the Sabres score 70 or more points in a game this season they are 13-3. Since the beginning of the 2012-13 season, Marian is 24-5 in games it has scored 70 points or more. Since last season, the Sabres are 24-3 when tied or leading at halftime, including 13-1 this season following the loss to Aurora on Feb. 8. Marian has three victories when trailing at halftime (MSOE, WLC & Edgewood).

TWO SABRES ECLIPSE 1,000-POINT PLATEAU Senior forward Cody Veleke and senior guard Jeff Harris reached a milestone only 14 Sabres had before them. Veleke, who dons the #15 became the 15th member of the 1,000-point club when he led the Sabres with 24 points and 11 rebounds in an 84-82 overtime victory at Wisconsin Lutheran on Dec. 5. It was his seventh career double-double. Harris eclipsed the milestone just before halftime of a 76-61 victory over Concordia Chicago at home Saturday, Dec. 14. Fellow senior Sam Koslowski is just 11 points away from becoming the third Sabre this year to reach the mark. His next opportunity will be against Lakeland, the team his father, John, held the scoring record for so many years up until last season when it was broken by Jake Schwartz. If he does, Marian will have done what only three known teams have accomplished since the 1996-97 season by having three or more players reach the coveted milestone in the same season.

THE KEY TO VICTORY Marian is 12-0 this season when out-rebounding its opponents and holds a +1.3 margin on the year. In those wins, the Sabres are +109 on the glass combined compared to -56 on the short-end. Last season, the Sabres went 10-3 when out-rebounding their opponents and finished the year with a -0.7 rebound margin.

LAST OF THE NACC UNBEATENS The Sabres made it further than any other team in the NACC before losing its first conference game, going 6-0 before a narrow 106-101 defeat at Aurora back on Dec. 20. Now 7-1 to start NACC play, this year’s squad owns the best league start in program history since the league’s inception in 2006-07. In only his second year at the helm, Head Coach Mark Boyle led the 1989-90 team to a 10-0 start in the Lake Michigan Conference on the way to a 13-1 regular season championship.

GRAND OPENING Marian snapped a five-game losing streak in conference openers and a three-game skid in conference home openers when it defeated Dominican, 71-63, Saturday, Nov. 30. The previous 1-0 start in league play occurred back on Nov. 28, 2007 when the Sabres went to River Forest and beat Concordia Chicago, 70-66. The previous win in a conference home opener was back on Dec. 5, 2009 when the Sabres beat Dominican, 81-68, behind 31 points from Logan Rankin (‘10).

FOR THE 41ST TIME Marian University men’s basketball opened its 41st season in program history when it defeated Martin Luther College by a score of 79-70 back on Nov. 16. Men’s basketball played its first season at Marian back in 1972-73.

WHAT IT REALLY “BOYLES” DOWN TO Head Coach Mark Boyle, who is in his 26th season at the helm of the Marian University men’s basketball program, has compiled 333 career victories and captured four conference championships on the Sabre sidelines. The Madison native took over the program in 1988-89 and led the team to a Lake Michigan Conference tournament championship. He arrived in Fond du Lac by way of UW-Green Bay, where he served as assistant under legendary coach Dick Bennett for three seasons. Boyle graduated from UW-Eau Claire. Boyle is currently the longest-tenured college coach in the state of Wisconsin.

COMING BACK FOR MORE The Sabres feature 12 returners from their 2012-13 squad that finished 15-11 overall, 10-6 in the NACC, which was good enough for the fifth-best league mark. Five seniors highlight the slew of returners, including captains Sam Koslowski and 2012-13 First Team selection Cody Veleke. The entire projected starting lineup remains intact with a mix of youth and veteran leadership. Sophomores Alex Stecker and Drew Binversie made immediate impacts as freshmen last

season, while junior Mike Keller is coming off his second straight season as the defensive backbone for the Sabres. Three seniors in James Bartelt, Jeff Harris and Elan Solvik will lead a deep and talented bench.

A PROGRAM FIRST For the first time in school history, Marian had the opportunity to compete against an NCAA Division I institution in UW-Milwaukee in an exhibition contest back on Oct. 31. The game took place at the Panthers’ home arena, the U.S. Cellular Arena in downtown Milwaukee. The Sabres led for the first 10 minutes of the game before the Panthers imposed their will with unmatched size and athleticism en route to an 80-52 victory. Other Notable Division I vs. non-Division I match-ups that took place:• UW-Platteville men took on UW-Madison, Oct. 30.• NAIA’s Viterbo men traveled to UW-Green Bay, Nov. 3.• Rockford men played Northern Illinois, Nov. 2.• Concordia Chicago men competed at UConn, Nov. 4.• Wis. Lutheran’s women faced UW-Milwaukee, Nov. 3.• Division II Winona State took on UW-Madison, Nov. 3• UW-Stevens Point women visited UW-Madison, Nov. 7.

SCHEDULE The 2013-14 schedule will be as challenging as ever with four of Marian’s five non-conference games taking place on the road. Following a season opening home match-up with Martin Luther, which Marian needed double-overtime to get past a season ago, the final four non-league bouts will be played away from the friendly confines of Sadoff Gymnasium. The Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference has altered its format, getting away from two divisions to a single division format that features 22 conference games, which is six more than last season. All 12 teams will play each other twice followed by a six-team league tournament slated to begin the final week in February.

PRESEASON POLL The Marian University men’s basketball team was picked to finish third in the 2013-14 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Preseason Poll, voted on by the league’s coaches and sports information directors. The Sabres, who turned in the fifth-best regular season record a season ago with a 15-11 overall mark and a 10-6 league record, earned 184 poll points, including three of the 22 first-place votes handed out by the voters. Aurora was the selected as the preseason favorite, garnering 223 poll points, including 12 first-place votes. Lakeland was picked second with 211 poll points and seven first-place votes.2013-14 NACC Preseason Coaches’ and SIDs’ Poll1. Aurora (12), 2232. Lakeland (7), 2113. Marian (3), 1844. MSOE, 1615.

Few teams have the luxury of returning all five starters and fewer teams can say they have five seniors, who are proven contributors. Head Coach Mark Boyle has both as he prepares for what hopes to be a

successful and exciting season at the helm of the Marian University men’s basketball program. Entering his 26th season, Boyle is the longest-tenured coach in the state of Wisconsin and believes this year may be the first time he returns all five starters to his lineup. The Sabres, who finished 15-11 in 2012-13, including a 10-6 mark in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference, had the fifth-best record in the league, but were reduced to the eighth seed in the tournament due to seeding rules amidst the two divisions. Marian then fell to top-seeded Lakeland on the road in a disappointing finish to an otherwise successful season. “They know each other and they know what it takes to win,” Boyle said of his experienced squad. “We want to secure a tournament home game and, if things fall into place, this team could even be capable of being in the race for the regular season title.” For the first time since its inception in 2006, the NACC will introduce a

new scheduling format that features a 20-game league schedule with all 11 teams playing each other twice under one division, followed by an eight-team postseason tournament. Looking to guide this senior laden squad is guard Sam Koslowski (Neenah, Wis./St. Mary’s Central), who has emerged as the team’s guiding voice after averaging in double figures and starting all 26 games for the Sabres a year ago. “[Sam’s] competitive nature and understanding of the game has earned the respect of his teammates as the leader of this team,” Boyle stated. Alongside him is

fellow senior Cody Veleke (Oakfield, Wis./Oakfield), who led the Sabres in scoring, rebounding, blocks, steals and field goal percentage, earned All-Conference accolades for the second straight season, including All-NACC First Team honors in 2012-13. “Cody has proven to be one of the top post players in the conference with his solid and consistent play,” Boyle said. As for Boyle’s guard play, it’s as stable and consistent as any team in the conference with sophomores Alex Stecker (Oostburg, Wis./Oostburg) and Drew Binversie (Valders, Wis./Valders) returning after receiving All-Freshmen Team nods a season ago. It was the first time in program history that the Sabres had put two on the All-Freshmen Team. Stecker led the team in assists (99), as well as, free throw percentage (90.7) and three-point percentage (45.6) after starting all 26 games as the team’s point guard. “Alex gets our offense going,” Boyle said. “He has high basketball intelligence and we expect him to be the floor general and trigger the offense.” Binversie proved early on that he deserved a starting role and went on to register 10 double-digit scoring performances including three 20-plus-point games.

“Drew has shown to be a real playmaker,” Boyle said. “He had a major impact in a lot of games last season, which is rare for a freshman. He can have an effect in the outcome of a game in a number of ways.” Junior forward Mike Keller (Oostburg, Wis./Oostburg) is what Coach Boyle calls the team’s “X-Factor”. Keller was Freshman of the Year in the NACC two years ago and has showed no signs of slowing down. “He helps bring us together as a unit through communication and the willingness to do the little things,” Boyle said. “He’s added a dimension to his game this season that will force defenses to stay honest.” What makes this team dangerous is the depth off their bench as the Sabres feature three seniors ready to carry the load in Elan Solvik (Port Townsend, Wash./Port Townsend), Jeff Harris (Chicago, Ill./Richards) and James Bartelt (Madison, Wis./East). Solvik showed last year his ability to run the point, while providing a change of pace that will give defenses a different look. Harris and Bartelt are both a year removed from competitive basketball, but seem to have picked up right where they left off in 2012. The former will add a much-needed scoring threat off the bench, while the latter looks to provide consistency in the post. “To have Jeff back, knowing what he’s shown to be capable of as a scoring threat and experienced guard, could be similar to having an ace in the hole,” Boyle said. “James has been a pleasant surprise, improving despite missing all of last year due to injury.” Other returners in the mix will be three-point specialist Brad Koth (Butte des Morts, Wis./Winneconne) and the high-energy Alex Gomez (Belvidere, Ill./North), as well as, Dickie Knar (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) and Carvell Oliver (Manitowoc, Wis./Lincoln). Boyle’s staff has brought in six newcomers looking to make a name for themselves. “I’m really pleased with the ability of our new guys, the amount of information they have absorbed already, and the kind of attitude and effort they provide at practice every day,” Boyle said. “As a group, it’s obvious they are making a sincere effort and have earned the respect of their teammates through hard work.” Two that should make an immediate impact for the Sabres will be Josh Creed (Chicago, Ill./Brother Rice) and Montrell Hobbs (Milwaukee, Wis./Rufus King), who have shown athleticism and the ability to understand how the offense is run at an early stage. Also vying for minutes will be Carlyle Howard (Chicago, Ill./Rich Central), Brandon McCullum (Joliet, Ill/West), Josh Oros (Montgomery, Ill./Oswego) and Brant Nickel (Waupun, Wis./Waupun). As is the case with Boyle-coached teams, the non-conference schedule is going to be a challenging one that prepares the team for league play and this year is no different. “I like our non-conference schedule a lot,” Boyle said. “We’ll face teams that will challenge us and prepare us in a number of ways.” The Sabres begin the year Nov. 16, with a home game against Martin Luther, a team they battled to a double-overtime victory on the road a season ago. Three challenges then await the Sabres away from home with a rivalry game at Ripon (Nov. 20) followed by a match-up with Luther (Nov. 22) to open up the Bethel tournament in Minnesota. The Sabres will then take on either UW-Eau Claire or host Bethel in the tournament finale (Nov. 23). Dominican will invade Sadoff Gymnasium Nov. 30, which will kick-off a demanding, 20-game league schedule. “It’s going to be tough,” Boyle said. “The rigor of playing everyone twice brings up the level of competition and teams are really going to have to outlast one another to win the league. It will surely be a test of endurance.”

Senior Cody Veleke currently ranks 17th on the Marian all-time scoring list.
