DOUSE THE GLASS 4 Senior guard Kiefer Douse pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds at Cleveland State Nov. 15, a new career-high for the Brampton, Ontario native. 4 Douse matched his previous career-high of six boards in that game s first half, and he ended the night with five rebounds off the offensive glass and five boards on the defensive end of the floor. 4 In the team s loss to UT Martin on Monday night, Douse was credited with a season-high 11 points to go along with four rebounds. The 11-point effort was the third career 10-plus point game for him CANISIUS BASKETBALL PAGE 6

7 PLAYER NOTES JOHNSON ON POINT 4 Freshman guard Malik Johnson made his first career start Nov. 13 when the Griffs played at No. 2/4 Kentucky. 4 Johnson, who signed his NLI to join the Canisius program in Nov. 2015, became the first true freshman to start the Griffs season opener since Kevin Bleeker in Johnson scored six points to go with two boards and an assist in 30 minutes against the Wildcats. 4 The Richmond, Virginia native was credited with a career-high five rebounds and dished out a career best three assists in the loss to UT Martin Monday. 4 Johnson s older brother, Robert, also plays Division I basketball. He is a junior on the Indiana roster. REESE TAKES CARE OF THE BALL 4Freshman Isaiah Reese comes into tonight s game against Tennessee State with an assist-toturnover ration of 4.0 in the Griffs last three games. In that span, he s been credited with eight assists against just two turnovers. 4 The Miami, Florida native had a career-high four assists against no turnovers in the win at Duquesne Nov. 18, highlighted by his assist on the game-winning basket by senior Phil Valenti. 4 Through his first four career games in a Canisius uniform, Reese has a 3.0 assist-to-turnover ratio, which is tied for third in the MAAC. ATKINSON MAKES THE MOST OF HIS TIME 4Canisius sophomore guard Chris Atkinson made the most of his nine minutes played in the Griffs win at Duquesne Nov. 18, as he was credited with a game-high five assists. 4The Hempstead, New York native matched a career-high with those five assists, last accomplished Dec. 22, 2015 when the Blue and Gold beat ULM in triple-overtime in Las Vegas. 4Atkinson played all 33 games last season as a rookie, and saw his string of 34-straight games come to an end Nov. 15, when he did not play in the team s loss at Cleveland State. FAULKNER GETS ON THE BOARD 4Canisius sophomore forward Jibreel Faulkner scored his first career points in the Griffs loss at Kentucky Nov The Washington, D.C., native came off the bench and scored six points to go along with two rebounds and an assist in nine minutes of action. 4Faulkner started his college career at Cal-Northridge in before transferring to San Jacinto Junior College for the season. O, CANADA 4Canisius roster features five players from Canada, the most of any team in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. 4The Griffs also have a Canadian connection on the bench, as new assistant coach Larry Blunt joined head coach Reggie Witherspoon on the staff this season. 4Before coming to Canisius, Blunt served as the head coach at Orangeville Prep in Mono, Ontario from At Orangeville, Blunt had the chance to coach more than a dozen players that signed NCAA Division I NLIs, including former Kentucky guard Jamal Murray and recent Canisius additions Selvedin Planincic and Dantai St. Louis. FROM CANISIUS TO... THE NFL? 4 Canisius has not sponsored varsity football since That fact has not stopped former Griff forward Chris Manhertz. 4 Manhertz, a former three-time team captain who graduated from Canisius with both his undergrad and master s degrees in 2014, earned a spot as a tight end on the New Orleans Saints roster and played in five games this season. He was waived by New Orleans and recently signed with the Carolina Panthers. He made his first appearance with the Panthers on Nov The Bronx, N.Y., native originally signed with the Buffalo Bills in December 2014, but was released midway through training camp. He signed with New Orleans as a free agent and then earned a spot on the squad s practice team after training camp ended in September Manhertz played four years of hoops at Canisius, where he started 94 of the 116 career games he appeared in. He averaged 6.5 points and 6.8 rebounds per game in his career. 4 Manhertz playing tight end in the NFL is somewhat ironic, seeing as he never played organized football prior to reporting to the Buffalo Bills first team workouts in April 2015, and never played in a real football game prior to the 2016 NFL preseason. What is a Griffin? The Griffin is a mythical creature of supposed gigantic size that has the head, forelegs and wings of an eagle and the hindquarters, tail and ears of a lion. They are well known for their speed, ability to fly and having eyes like an eagle as well as the strength and courage of a lion. Griffins have been known for centuries as symbols of strength and vigilance, have been called The Hounds of Zeus in Greek mythology and are said to have mastery of both the land and sky. They are thought to be from India, where the natives of the land made their talons and claws into drinking cups because the talon of a Griffin was said to detect poison in a liquid. Griffins would find gold in the mountains and line their nests with it and as a result, were forced to become great guardians of the nests to keep the hunters away.
