RECAPPING LAST YEAR

LUCKETT, JR. GOES PRO
Former Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball standout Jerry Luckett, Jr. (Milwaukee, Wisc.) signed a professional contract with BBC Grengewald Hueschert in Luxembourg after completing his career at SCSU. 

TOUGH PLACE TO PLAY
Since the start of the 2013-14 season, The Owls are 54-15 (.783) at home and 47-8 in NE10 play (.854).

WELCOME BACK
• The Owls are returning five players from the 2017-18 squad - seniors Isaiah McLeod, Joey Wallace and Luke Beesley, junior Taurus Adams III and sophomore Ulyen Coleman.
• Of those five, four were the Owls' leading scorers:  
• Isaiah McLeod led the team in scoring with 20.4 points per game, steals 2.0 per game and second on the team in rebounds per game with 5.7. 
• Ulyen Coleman was third on the team scoring 13.2 points per game and was second on the team in 3-point percentage making 41% while Taurus Adams III scored 9.1 points per game. 

WELCOME TO THE CLUB
Southern will welcome eight newcomers to the 2018-19 squad - senior Kealen Ives (transfer from Rider College) and juniors Issac Grant (transfer from Queens College) and Isaiah Boissard (transfer from Western Texas College), sophomore C.J. Seaforth (transfer from Iona College) and freshmen William Antrum, Mekhi Warren, Michael Mozzicato and Zack Penn.

LOSING SOME PRODUCTION
The Owls will look to replace the production of two major contributors who finished their careers in 2017-18:
• Two-time All-Conference player Jerry Luckett, Jr., who was second on the team in scoring with 14.8 per game and led the team in rebounding averaging 6.1 per game. Luckett's great feat came in last seasons NE10 first round when he hit the game-winner at the buzzer to defeat Southern New Hampshire as SCSU moved on to the next round of the conference tournament.
• Senior Bernard Brantley  was second on the team in assists with 67 and averaged 5.5 points per game.

THRIVING IN THE CLASSROOM
Two members of the Southern Connecticut State University men's basketball team were selected as honorees for the 2017 NABC Honors Court - Luke Beesley and Jerry Luckett, Jr.

UP NEXT
