LAST TIME OUT
Marian University men’s basketball dropped all three meetings away from home last week,
including a pair of two-point losses at the Bethel University Tip-Off Tournament in Arden
Hills, Minn. The Sabres battled back from 17 points down against Luther in the tournament
opener Friday, Nov. 22, but they couldn’t finish the comeback, falling 71-69. On Saturday, the
Sabres fell to UW-Eau Claire, 81-79.
Marian put four players in double figures in both instances, including sophomore
Drew Binversie, who registered his second career double-double with 17 points and 13
rebounds in the setback to UW-Eau Claire. Senior Sam Koslowski averaged a team-best
15.3 points per game last week, while senior Cody Veleke registered 14.7 points and 4.7
rebounds.
GAZING AT THE STARS
Dominican University comes into Saturday reeling after dropping its first four contests this
year, including the previous two by double digits. The Stars were picked to finish seventh
in the NACC Preseason Poll after going 10-17 overall, including 7-9 in the conference last
season.
Senior Taylor DeRoo leads the Stars this season with 17 points per game. He scored
a season-high 26 in a 94-88 loss at Lake Forest in the season opener. Sophomore Ryan
Risley and senior Logan Harris follow closely behind with 13.3 and 12.2 points per game,
respectively. Harris also hauls in a team-high 5.8 rebounds per game.
SERIES HISTORY
The Sabres and Stars will meet for the 17th time this Saturday. Marian leads the all-time
series 9-7, and has won three of the last five meetings.
The last meeting between both teams saw the Stars turn in an improbable victory at
home when they overcame a 22-point deficit and outscored the Sabres 46-26 in the second
half for a 65-64 win back on Dec. 1, 2012. Dominican’s go-ahead score with nine seconds
remaining marked its first and only lead of the game.
Two of the last three home meetings for Marian has resulted in 13-point victories over
the Stars.
LEAGUE OPENERS
Marian is looking to snap a five-game losing streak in conference openers and a threegame skid in conference home openers when it hosts Dominican Saturday. The last win
in a conference opener came all the way back on Nov. 28, 2007 when the Sabres went to
River Forest and beat Concordia Chicago, 70-66.
The most recent 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
opened up with 79-70 home win over Martin Luther College, 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 325 career victories on the Sabre sidelines.
The Madison native took over the program for his first season 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.
