4 Matt Langel enters his second year at the helm of Colgate men's basketball. Langel came to Colgate after spending five seasons as an assistant coach at Temple University ( ). Langel worked under the tutelage of Fran Dunphy, who is one of the all-time winningest coaches in Philadelphia Big five history and has twice been named Eastern College Coach of the Year after guiding the Owls to their fourth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Dunphy had this to say about Langel: I m thrilled for Matt. Colgate gets a person with great character who is very wise and can be a mentor to all of his student athletes. Langel was also a two-year member of Dunphy's Penn staff and helped guide his alma mater to two consecutive Ivy League Championships. Langel, a 2000 graduate of Penn s Wharton School of Business, helped lead the Quakers to two Ivy League titles and NCAA Tournament appearances during his four-year career ( ). The Quakers went 27-1 in Ivy League action in his junior and senior campaigns and sported a overall record. Langel was named Ivy League and Big Five Player of the Week numerous times and received the Big Five's Most Improved Player Award. He was also named to the Holiday Festival All-Tournament team (1998) and the University of California Golden Bear Holiday Classic All-Tournament Team (1999). Langel etched his name in the Penn record books in several different categories. He is a member of the 1,000-point club with 1,191 points in a Red and Blue uniform. He stands second all-time in Penn basketball history in three-pointers made in a game with eight, is eighth in three-pointers made in a season with 70, and fourth in career three-pointers made with 201. Upon graduation, Langel was drafted by Atlantic City of the USBL in 2000 and worked out in the Seattle SuperSonics camp. He then went overseas to play professionally in Europe, for Chene BC in Switzerland and ALM Evreux Basket in France Pro A. The Moorestown, N.J., native participated in the Philadelphia 76ers summer camp in 2001, but returned to Europe to play for the MBC and Hagan in German Bundesliga I. His last professional stop before returning to Penn as an assistant coach was with the Eiffel Towers in Holland. Langel was also a member of the Friars Senior Society and the University Student-Athlete Advisory Committee while at Penn. Langel, 33, and his wife, Tara, have a daughter, Logan Anne, and a son, Lucas. You can follow the Raiders on:

5 Men s Basketball Outlook Last in Review The Colgate men s basketball team opened the season with a lot of firsts including head coach Matt Langel. He entered his first year at the helm of the Raiders after spending five years as an assistant coach at Temple. The Raiders also won their season opener for the first time in three years with a win over Binghamton in Vestal, N.Y. The win snapped a 13-game losing skid in the month of November dating back to the season. Senior Mike Venezia 12 was named the Patriot League Player of the Week after scoring 22 points in the win over the Bearcats. But the road didn t get any easier for the Raiders, who had to travel to nationally ranked Wisconsin and Syracuse before playing their home opener against St. Francis (Pa.). After a pair of road losses, Colgate stamped another first with a win over the Red Flash. The win at Cotterell Court was Colgate s first home opener victory in four years. Junior Brandon James 13 led the Raiders with 17 points in the win. After dropping their next two road games to Marist and Fordham, the Raiders returned to Hamilton for a win over Eastern Michigan. Colgate would drop its next decision on the road to Albany, before posting backto-back wins at home over St. Francis (N.Y.) (65-63) and Dartmouth (61-55). The overtime win against Dartmouth extended the Raiders winning streak to four-straight at home, which was the most since the season. The win also improved the Raiders to 5-5 on the season, which was the best 10-game start to a season since The Raiders were also just two wins shy of tying the school-record of seven wins before January. But following the 5-5 start, the Raiders went 1-9 over their next 10 games, including a 1-5 start in Patriot League play. Colgate s lone win during the 10-game slump was a overtime topping of Navy to snap an eight game losing skid. Junior center John Brandenburg 13 led the Raiders with a career-high 17 points, including six in overtime. Colgate would then top NJIT on the road to close out its non-conference schedule, before junior Mitch Rolls 13 drained a game winning three-pointer at the buzzer to beat Navy for a second time in Annapolis, Md. The win over Navy would end up being the last one for the Raiders who finished the season But the effort was still there to the end and it couldn t be more apparent than against Lehigh in the Patriot League Tournament. Colgate trailed by as much as 22 in the second half but was able to piece together a 15-3 run to get back into it, before falling to the eventual League champions. The Raiders four seniors combined for 40 points in their final collegiate game, including Sterling Melville scoring a game-high 21 points. The Raiders senior class of Melville, Venezia, Yaw Gyawu 12 and Nick Pascale 12 combined for 45 percent of the Colgate scoring in the season along with 37 percent of the total rebounds. Through their careers the senior class amassed a total of 3,363 points and 1,436 rebounds. Both Gyawu (1,228) and Venezia (1,027) finished their careers as members of the 1,000-point club Colgate Raiders Colgate Position-by-Position Breakdown Colgate returns 10 letterwinners from last year's teams after losing three starters. Amongthose key loses was Mike Venezia, who led the team in three-pointers made on the season (54). During his senior campaign, Venezia averaged 9.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game. He was named Patriot League Anaconda Player of the Week for his performance against Binghamton, where he scored a season-high 22 points. Colgate also lost its top rebounder in Nick Pascale. He ended his senior season with 4.8 rebounds per game and a total of 144 rebounds on the season. The Raiders return only two starters from last year s team but will be supported by a wealth of upperclassmen. Of those returning are seniors Mitch Rolls, John Brandenburg and Brandon James, as well as junior Pat Moore. Rolls averaged 8.6 points per game with 49 three-pointers on the season. Moore followed closely with 9.9 points per game with 53 three-pointers. Guards Senior Mitch Rolls will be running the show again for the Raiders as the top point guard. Rolls started all 30 games for Colgate last season, averaging 8.6 points and 2.1 rebounds a game. He also led the team in three-point shooting percentage, shooting 43.8 percent from behind the arc. Rolls scored a season-high 19 points against Marist, and added three assists, two rebounds and a steal on the game. Last year he scored in double figures in 12 of the 30 games for the Raiders. Pat Moore, the junior history major, also looks to make an impact on the season, scoring in double figures 13 times last year. After starting 29 of 30 games for Colgate, he led the team in scoring average with 9.9 points per game. Moore had a career-high 23 points against Lehigh, finishing with a total of seven three-pointers. He also added five rebounds, two assists and a steal in that game.

He scored a season-high eight points against Army and Columbia last season while also notching a season-high seven rebounds against Lehigh. Back for his junior season is Chad Johnson, who saw

6 action in 16 games during the season. Johnson scored a season-high four points against Army, while also grabbed a season-high three rebounds. He looks to be a dominant threat for the Raiders this upcoming season. Freshman Alex Ramon and Damon Sherman- Newsome adds depth to the Colgate bench. Ramon played a prep year at Wilbraham & Monson Academy in Western Massachusetts. He was also the team captain his senior year at Ekialdea BHI in Spain, where he played for four years. Ramon was the leading scorer of the Spanish U18 Championship in Sherman-Newsome attended Angelina Junior College before coming to Colgate playing 29 games and averaging just over five points a game. He attended Bartlett HS in the Cook Inlet Conference in Anchorage and averaged 21 points and nine rebounds a game as a senior. Sherman-Newsome was a three-time conference champion and won the Alaska State Championship in 2011 as the senior captain. He was also a four-time all-conference honoree and was a three-time all-state selection. Mitch Rolls Forwards Senior Brandon James will be a huge force for the Raiders at the post this year. Last season he saw action in all 30 games, starting eight. He averaged five points and four rebounds per game. James shot 35.4 percent from the three-point line on the year and scored a career-high 20 points against Bucknell, where he went 6-7 from the three-point line. He grabbed a season-high nine rebounds against Marist and Binghamton. He ended the season second behind recent graduate Nick Pascale in rebounds with 118. Fellow senior classmate Murphy Burnatowski adds power to the forward position after sitting out last year because he transferred from Maine. While at Maine, he had a dominant performance of 17 points at national powerhouse Maryland. Burnatowski also scored a teamhigh 20 points in a win at Penn State. During his freshman season he was named to the American East All- Rookie Team. Sophomore Matt McMullen saw action in 29 games for the Raiders, averaging 1.7 points and 1.5 rebounds. He scored a season-high 14 points against Lafayette as well a grabbing three rebounds, one assist and a block in the game. Centers Seniors John Brandenburg and Lazar Bogdanovic look to make an impact underneath the basket for the Raiders. As a junior Brandenburg saw action in all 30 games, averaging 5.3 points a game. Brandenburg scored a season-high 17 points against Patriot League rival Navy. He also averaged 2.8 rebounds a game with a seasonhigh 11 rebounds against Binghamton while adding a season-high four blocks. Bogdanovic participated in seven games as a junior finishing the season grabbing a total of three rebounds with two points. Newcomer Ethan Jacobs comes to Colgate after transferring from Ohio. This junior played basketball at Tipton HS, where he received a grade of 86 in ESPN.com s recruiting rankings. He notched a 23-3 mark as a senior, losing to the eventual state champion in the regional. Jacobs was a member of the all-league and all-area team in 2010 and should be an asset off the bench for the Raiders. Out of Conference Schedule The Raiders open the season traveling to Illinois and Milwaukee for the famous EA Sports Maui Invitational. They take on Illinois and Marquette in the openings games before heading back to Hamilton for their home opener against Marist on Nov. 11. The nonconference schedule will be a long and hard one for the Raiders, as they only host four of the 16 games prior to conference play. The Raiders face Elon and Coppin State or Florida Atlantic in Elon, N.C. for the second half of the EA Sports Maui Invitational (Mainland Games) after their first home game. They then have another four games on the road as they travel to St. Francis (Pa.), Cornell, Quinnipiac and nearby rival Syracuse.
