2017-18 LAFAYETTE BASKETBALL • PAGE 1 2017-18 LAFAYETTE BASKETBALL • PAGE 1 LAST TIME OUT Statistical Comparison Drexel stole the first win away from Lafayette once again on Wednesday evening in Philadelphia, Pa., notching the game-winner with less than 20 seconds to play for a 68-67 final. The game was LAFAYETTE STATISTICS QUINNIPIAC eerily similar to last year’s battle between the same two teams that saw Lafayette lose by a 74-70 4/1 Starters Returning/Lost 2/3 score after leading for more than 39 minutes. 9/1 Letterwinners Returning/Lost 6/7 6’5’’ Average Height 6’5” Up by eight into the final media timeout, Drexel scored eight straight to tie the game at 64-64 with 41 seconds to play.

It also marked the second straight game that a Leopard freshman has recorded 37.7 3PT% 35.2 at least 24 points with classmate Alex Petrie netting 25 on Sunday against Saint Peter’s. 39.5 3PT% Defense 39.4 Senior co-captain Matt Klinewski was the other Lafayette player in double figures, tallying 17 points 71.3 FT% 71.0 in his 30 minutes of play to go along with five rebounds and four assists.

Drexel shot just 36.7 percent from the floor and hit on seven of its 31 15.3 Turnover Average 13.6 three-point attempts (22.6%). However, rebounding proved costly once again as a 37-27 edge on the 10.8 Forced Turnovers Avg. 13.0 glass led to a 19-4 advantage in second-chance points, making up for some offensive inefficiencies. -4.5 Turnover Margin -0.6 THE SKINNY ON THE BOBCATS 72/92 (0.8) Ast./Turn. Ratio 84/95 (0.9) Quinnipiac is coming off a 68-66 win over UMass on Wednesday to improve to 2-5 on the season. The Bobcats have picked up their two wins this season by a combined three points, defeating Dartmouth by one, 78-77, in the other victory. The visitors were balanced offensively across the board on Wednesday, receiving 14 points from Isaiah Washington, 12 from Chaise Daniels and 11 each from Cameron Young and Andrew Robinson.

Daniels and Young have been consistent scorers for the Bobcats, averaging 15.4 and 14.1 points per game, respectively. Rich Kelly, Washington and Robinson round out the key contributors to the offense at 9.9, 9.3 and 8.3 points per night, respectively. The contest at Lafayette on Saturday will be the first of five straight for Quinnipiac, culminating in the start of MAAC play against Monmouth on Dec. 28 at the TD Bank Center.

UNFAMILIAR MATCHUP Lafayette and Quinnipiac square off in the first-ever meeting between the two programs on Saturday. The Bobcats are one of two brand-new teams on the Leopards’ schedule this winter, having lost to George Mason in their first-ever matchup in the season opener on Nov. 10 in Fairfax, Va.

DIAPER DANDIES Lafayette’s freshman scoring record, set by Otis Ellis on Jan. 18, 1985, who scored 27 points in a 101-77 win over Delaware, looks to be in jeopardy this season as both Alex Petrie and Justin Jaworski have come within a bucket of that mark through the season’s first six games. Petrie poured in 25 points against Saint Peter’s on a sizzling 7-of-10 shooting from three-point range, while Jaworski led the team with 24 points on 9-of-14 from the floor in the 68-67 loss to Drexel on Wednesday. Petrie’s 25-point effort was the most for a Lafayette player in the Patriot League era (since the 1990-91 season).

The duo sit second and third on the team in scoring behind senior Matt Klinewski’s 18.2 points per contest. Jaworski averages 12.8 points per night after Wednesday’s outburst, while Petrie is nipping at his heels at 12.7 points per game, doing his damage from beyond the arc with a 46.2 percent clip from distance (18-for-39).

KLINEWSKI FOR THREE? Matt Klinewski, entering the season with just four career three-point field-goal attempts, has gone 15-for-23 from three-point range to start the season as the second-ranked three-point shooter in the nation at 65.2 percent. The senior, who for much of his career has displayed an excellent touch in mid-range to go along with his prowess on the block, has expanded to beyond the three-point line this season, providing another weapon in an already-potent outside shooting attack for the Maroon and White.

MANNING THE BENCH Lafayette’s Fran O’Hanlon has posted 303 wins in his career in his 23rd season on the sideline for the Leopards, while Quinnipiac’s Baker Dunleavy is in his first season with the Bobcats after serving as an assistant coach at Villanova for seven seasons, O’Hanlon’s alma mater as a member of the Class of 1970.

SAME OLD SAME OLD Klinewski, who led the Leopards in scoring as a junior at 16.0 points per game, good enough for second in the Patriot League rankings, has picked up right where he left off to open 2017-18, averaging 18.2 points per night through six games this year. Klinewski posted his fourth 30-point game in less than a year, going 8-of-10 from the field, 4-of-5 from three-point range and 10-of-12 from the foul 2017-18 Quick Facts line for 30 points against Saint Peter’s on Sunday. He posted three performances of 30 or more Head Coach: Fran O’Hanlon (Villanova ’70) points during the 2016-17 campaign, the first Lafayette player to accomplish that feat in the Patriot Record at Lafayette: 303-360, 23rd season League era. Klinewski has led the Leopards in scoring in four of the first six games and his double- digit scoring streak has grown to nine straight games dating back to the end of last season. Overall Record: same Assistants: Jim Fenerty (Dickinson ’13) NO MORE SECOND CHANCES Rebounding struggles have been costly for the Maroon and White recently, losing the battle on the Jarren Dyson (Emory & Henry ’10) boards in five consecutive games. The second-chance point category has been the story in the last Justin Burrell (Holy Cross ’15) three games with the difference there equaling or exceeding the point margin at the final buzzer. Director of Basketball Operations: Against Princeton, the Tigers won by 14 (60-46) and held a 14-0 edge in second-chance points, Andrew Radomicki (Widener ’14) while Saint Peter’s won by four on Sunday (86-82) with a 16-2 second-chance point advantage. The Leopards’ one-point loss at Drexel (68-67) was in large part due to a 19-4 deficit in second-chance 2016-17 COLLEGE QUICK FACTS points.

2017-18 LAFAYETTE BASKETBALL • PAGE 6 JOE MADDON ’76 DOES NOT SUCK Joe Maddon, manager of the Chicago Cubs and member of the Lafayette Class of 1976, enjoyed another successful season in 2017 as his team advanced to the National League Championship Series, falling to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games. Maddon helped the Cubs break their 108-year World Series drought in 2016 when he led the team to the title over the Cleveland Indians in a Game 7 for the ages.

Maddon played quarterback for the Leopards during his days on College Hill, completing 14-of-17 passes for four touchdowns in the 1972 freshman Lafayette-Lehigh tilt. Additionally, he was a catcher on the Lafayette baseball team, eventually causing him to give up football to focus on baseball following his freshman season.

Jaworski’s 24 led all scorers as the rookie was 9-of-14 from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point Lafayette was efficient offensively, despite its 17 turnovers on the afternoon. The Leopards went range on the night.

However, rebounding proved costly once again as a 37-27 edge on the glass led The Peacocks held that advantage through the remainder of the half, stretching it to as many as to a 19-4 advantage in second-chance points, making up for some offensive inefficiencies. seven on Quinn Taylor free-throws with 3:24 to play. However, Lafayette closed the half strong, scoring Drexel scored the first six points of the game, but Lafayette responded well early as a floater 11 of the final 18 points to cut the deficit to just three at the halftime intermission, 38-35. through a foul from Jaworski put the Leopards in front by an 8-6 score after five minutes and change. The offenses that may have been somewhat stagnant at times in the first half arrived for the start The Leopards took that lead through the midway point of the half, leading by as many as six on a triple of the second as both teams put up a ton of points over the first six-minute stretch. A three from by Klinewski at the 9:27 mark. Tramaine Isabell answered with a three of his own on the following trip, Klinewski, followed by a pretty spin move on the block from junior Paulius Zalys put the Leopards in though, and Lafayette’s edge was cut to three at 17-14 with 7:20 to play in the half. front by a 53-51 score with 14:05 to play. That three was the start of a 9-0 run for the Dragons, retaking the lead at 20-17 with 4:58 left. The Leopards carried that lead through the midway point and into the latter stages of the second Jaworski responded with a deep triple from the right wing to knot the game at 20-20 and the Leopards half as back-to-back buckets from senior co-captain Eric Stafford made it 72-70 with 3:48 to play. closed strong as a Petrie triple late and a defensive stop killed the first-half clock with Lafayette on top, However, the Peacocks wouldn’t go away as a Taylor triple took the game into a timeout with 3:24 left 29-25. and the visitors on top by two, 74-72. The energy was on the Lafayette sideline to start the second half as a clinical up-and-under from Petrie’s free throws tied it at 74-74 with 2:38 remaining, but back-to-back three’s from Griffin Klinewski erupted the Leopard bench and helped the Maroon and White stretch their lead to seven at pushed the lead to an insurmountable margin at 80-76 with 40 seconds on the clock. Petrie tried the under-16 media timeout. But Drexel’s response came quickly over the next four minutes as a Kurk his best to get the Leopards back in the game, hitting two three’s in the final 20 seconds, but Griffin Lee three off an offensive board cut the lead back to one at 45-44 with 12:16 to play. knocked down 6-of-6 from the stripe late to seal it with a final of 86-82. The Leopards withstood the energy shift and settled the game back down over the next five-minute stretch as a Jaworski three in the right corner off a Klinewski feed pushed the advantage back to four, 56-52, with 7:42 remaining. That swing back served Lafayette well through to the latter stages of the game as a Jaworski layup high off the glass took the contest into its final media timeout with the Leop- ards’ lead at eight, 64-56. But Isabell took over out of that timeout, scoring the next seven points to pull the home side within one at 64-63 and a rebounding foul gave Drexel another free throw to tie it at 64-64 with 41 seconds to play.
