2011, it snapped a 14-game losing streak against Atlantic Coast Conference
schools, which dated back to a 63-61 win at North Carolina State during
the Dixie Classic on Dec. 29, 1959.
DUDZINSKI PLAYS BIG IN THE POST: Senior forward Dave Dudzinski
(Elburn, Ill.) is once again a key player for the Crusaders in the low post
this season, after being named second team All-Patriot League a year ago.
During Wednesday’s victory over Sacred Heart, Dudzinski posted his fifth
career double-double with 26 points, a career-high tying 15 rebounds, three
steals, two assists and two blocked shots. In the previous contest against
Harvard, he led the team with 25 points, six rebounds and three steals.
On the season, Dudzinski is averaging 25.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.0
steals per game, while hitting 54.8 percent of his field goal attempts (17 of
31) and 93.8 percent of his free throws (15 of 16). Last year, he averaged
a team-best 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per contest, while
connecting on 48.3 percent (166 of 344) of his field goals and 81.7 percent
(107 of 131) of his free throws. During the 2013 Patriot League quarterfinal game at Lafayette, Dudzinski led the team with 22 points and eight
rebounds. Some of his other top games last year came at San Francisco (31
points, seven rebounds), against Columbia (31 points), against Bucknell

48.7 percent (97 of 199) of his field goal attempts and 83.1 percent of his
free throws (69 of 83). Over the course of his collegiate career, Dudzinski
has now totaled 904 points, 468 rebounds and 71 blocked shots, while
connecting on 49.6 percent (331 of 667) of his field goals and 80.9 percent
(207 of 256) of his free throws.
HAMILTON BECOMING A TOP SCORING THREAT: Sophomore guard
Cullen Hamilton (Washington, D.C.) is a key player for the Crusaders
on the wing this year, after being selected to the Patriot League All-Rookie
team in 2012-2013. During Wednesday’s victory over Sacred Heart, he
totaled a career-high 35 points, three rebounds and three assists. Hamilton
hit 11 of 21 field goal attempts and seven of 13 shots from three-point range
against the Pioneers, in addition to knocking down six of eight free throws.
He previously scored nine points in the season opener against Harvard, and
is now averaging 22.0 points per game. Hamilton averaged 6.3 points and
2.9 rebounds per game last season, and made 36.1 percent (22 of 61) of
his three-point attempts in Patriot League regular season play. During last
year’s home game with Lafayette, he scored a season-high 18 points and
pulled down seven rebounds, while hitting six of eight shots from the floor
and four of six attempts from three-point range. A few of Hamilton’s other
top games last season came at Old Dominion (15 points, four rebounds),
against American (13 points, two assists), against New Hampshire (11
points), against Dartmouth (10 points, five rebounds, two assists) and at
Bucknell (10 points, four rebounds). Over the course of his collegiate career,

30.4 percent of his three-point attempts (45 of 148).
FRESHMEN STEP INTO PROMINENT ROLES: Freshman forward
Malachi Alexander (Bowie, Md.) and freshmen guard Anthony Thompson (Glenn Dale, Md.) have both become key parts of the Holy Cross rotation this year. Alexander currently ranks third on the team with an average
of 15.0 points per game, and stands second with an average of 7.5 rebounds
per contest. He posted his first career double-double with 23 points and 13
rebounds in the victory over Sacred Heart, after recording seven points and
two rebounds in the season opener against Harvard. Thompson is also off
to a strong start this year, averaging 8.5 points per game off the bench. He
totaled 10 points, two steals and one assist in the win over Sacred Heart,
while posting seven points and one assist against Harvard.
Sacred Heart Recap
Cullen Hamilton scored a career-high 35 points, to lead Holy Cross
to a 122-118 double overtime victory over Sacred Heart at the Hart
Center on Nov. 13, 2013. Dave Dudzinski finished with 26 points,
while tying his career-high with 15 rebounds. Malachi Alexander
also posted a double-double, recording career-highs for 23 points
and 13 rebounds. Evan Kelley totaled 32 points and eight rebounds
to lead the Pioneers, while Steve Glowiak added 28 points. Sacred
Heart held a 97-94 lead with 13 seconds left in regulation, when
Glowiak went to the line for two free throws. Glowiak hit the first
before missing the second, leaving the Pioneers with a four-point
advantage. Anthony Thompson was then fouled driving into the lane
with only six seconds on the clock. Thompson connected on the first
shot and missed the second, but Dudzinski grabbed the rebound and
was fouled while putting the ball back into the basket with three
seconds left. Dudzinski was able to convert the three-point play, and
the game went to overtime tied at 98-98. The Crusaders jumped out
to a 105-100 lead in the first overtime period, before Glowiak made
a layup and a three-pointer to tie the score at 105-105. Eric Green
and Alexander each made one of two free throws to put Holy Cross
up by two (107-105), before Sacred Heart’s Phil Gaetano drained a
pair of foul shots with 13 seconds left to force the second overtime.
The Pioneers were up 113-111 with three minutes left in the second
extra session, before Alexander hit a jumper to tie the score. Hamilton would then drain a three-pointer with 1:09 remaining, breaking
a 113-113 tie and putting the Crusaders in the lead for good. Holy
Cross went on to hit six of eight free throws in the final minute to
escape with the victory.
RECORDS FALL IN SACRED HEART GAME: A number of Hart Center and Holy Cross records were set during Wednesday’s 122-118 double
overtime victory over Sacred Heart. The Crusaders set new building records
for both free throws made (45) and free throw attempts (56), while Holy
Cross and Sacred Heart broke the Hart Center records for combined points
(240), free throws made (77) and free throw attempts (94) by both teams. In
addition, the Crusaders’ 122 points were the third-most ever scored in the
building, while the Pioneers 118 points were the most by a visiting team
and the fifth-most overall. All-time school records for both teams combined
were set for points scored in a game (240) and free throws made in a game
(77). The old mark of 236 total points last happened against Iona on Feb.
21, 1989, while the previous record of 75 free throws made stood since
1970 (against Seton Hall). Holy Cross nearly broke the school single-game
record for free throws made with 45, coming up just two short of the mark
of 47 set against Seton Hall on Feb. 7, 1970.
BURRELL LEADS HOLY CROSS FROM THE POINT: Junior Justin
Burrell (Dumfries, Va.) is now in his third season as Holy Cross’ starting
point guard. He totaled nine points and eight assists during the victory over
Sacred Heart, after recording eight points and four assists against Harvard.
On the season, Burrell is averaging 8.5 points and 6.0 assists per game. Last
year, he averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 assists and 2.0 rebounds per contest, while

Francisco (15 points). Burrell previously earned Patriot League Rookie of
the Year honors in 2011-2012, after averaging 7.4 points, 3.7 assists and
2.0 rebounds per contest, and hitting 77.4 percent (65 of 84) of his free
throw attempts. Over the course of his Holy Cross career, Burrell has now
totaled 593 points, 228 assists, 119 rebounds and 36 steals, while making
84.2 percent (133 of 158) of his free throws.

record (.551) during those three years, including a 35-19 mark (.648) in

in seventh place in voting by the conference’s head coaches and sports information directors. The Crusaders received 70 total points in the conference
preseason poll. Boston University placed first in the poll, with 162 total
points and 18 first-place votes, followed by Lafayette in second with 130
points and two first-place votes, Army in third (115 points), Bucknell in
fourth (113 points), Loyola (Md.) in fifth (109 points) and Lehigh in sixth
(93 points). The preseason rankings were rounded out by Colgate (eighth,
49 points), American (ninth, 36 points) and Navy (10th, 23 points).
TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE: This year marks the 95th season of Holy
Cross men’s basketball. The Crusaders own an overall record of 1327-903
(.595), while making 24 postseason tournament appearances — 12 trips to
the NCAA Tournament and 12 to the National Invitation Tournament. In
the history of collegiate basketball, Holy Cross is one of only 16 schools
to have won the NCAA Tournament (1946-1947) as well as the National
Invitational Tournament (1953-1954). Throughout its history, Holy Cross
has had six first team All-America selections, sent 10 players to the National Basketball Association, had four players and coaches inducted into
the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, had 23 players drafted
by professional teams, had three players go on to coach professionally, and
had 15 players who have coached in college.
CRUSADERS LOOKING FOR SIXTH PATRIOT LEAGUE REGULAR
SEASON TITLE: During the 2013-2014 campaign, Holy Cross will attempt
to win the Patriot League regular season title for the sixth time in school
history. The last championship for the Crusaders came in 2007, when they
tied for first place in the conference with Bucknell, as both teams posted
13-1 records in league play. Prior to that, Holy Cross won outright Patriot
League regular season titles in 2001, 2003 and 2005, while sharing the
regular season championship in 1994. The Crusaders’ three outright titles are
the second-most in league history, and Holy Cross’ five total championships
are tied for the second-most in conference history with Navy (one outright,
four shared), behind only Bucknell (five outright, three shared).
HOLY CROSS IN THE NCAA STATISTICS: The Crusaders finished
the 2012-2013 season ranked among the top 125 in NCAA Division I
leaders for five statistical categories. In addition, Justin Burrell and Dave
Dudzinski ended the year among the top 250 in the nation in individual
statistics. The rankings:

HOLY CROSS OWNS FIVE PATRIOT LEAGUE TOURNAMENT
CROWNS: Seven years ago, the Crusaders captured their fifth Patriot
League Tournament crown with a 74-66 victory over Bucknell on March
9, 2007. Holy Cross’ previous tournament titles came in 2003 (72-64 over
American), 2002 (58-54 at American), 2001 (68-64 over Navy in overtime)
and 1993 (98-73 at Bucknell). The Crusaders’ five conference tournament
championships are the most in Patriot League history, with Bucknell (2005,
2006, 2011 and 2013) ranking second. Holy Cross has also appeared in the
championship game seven times in the last 12 years. Overall, the Crusaders have made a conference-record 10 appearances in the Patriot League
championship game.
HOLY CROSS SHINES ON THE DEFENSIVE END: The Crusaders
will look to once again be a strong defensive team in 2013-2014. Last year,
Holy Cross gave up only 64.3 points per contest, while holding the opposition to 42.0 percent shooting from the field and 31.8 percent shooting from
three-point range. The Crusaders also averaged 3.5 blocked shots per game,
and outrebounded the opposition by 0.1 boards per contest. In addition,
Holy Cross held 11 of its opponents to 60 points or less in regulation. In
2011-2012, the Crusaders ranked first in the Patriot League in three-point
field goal percentage defense (30.5 percent) and blocked shots (4.4 blocks
per game), while holding their opponents to 66.8 points per game and 42.1
percent field goal shooting overall.
CRUSADERS AT THE HART CENTER: Holy Cross currently owns
an all-time record of 338-137 at the Hart Center, including a 1-0 mark so
far this year. The Crusaders posted their 300th win in the building against
Sacred Heart on Nov. 14, 2008. Holy Cross had a 23-game winning streak
at the Hart Center from Feb. 15, 2006-Jan. 2, 2008, which was the longest
streak in the history of the building and the sixth-longest home court winning streak in the nation at the time. In 2006-2007 the Crusaders posted a
perfect 14-0 mark at the Hart Center, setting a school record for the most
home victories since they moved into the building. During the Hart Center’s
history, Holy Cross has posted a winning record at home in 32 out of 38
seasons, while recording double-figure home victories 17 times. The Crusaders stand 125-45 at home since the beginning of the 2000-2001 season,
including a 79-24 record against Patriot League foes.
SCOUTING THE TAR HEELS: North Carolina enters the contest ranked
12th in the nation by the Associated Press and 11th by USA Today. The
Tar Heels stand 1-0 on the season, after defeating Oakland 84-61 in their
season opener last Friday. Junior forward James Michael McAdoo led North
Carolina by recording 21 points and nine rebounds against the Grizzlies.
Sophomore guard Marcus Paige added 14 points and five assists, while
sophomore forward J.P. Tokoto chipped in with 13 points, five assists and
four steals. The Tar Heels are led by Roy Williams, who stands 283-79 in
11 seasons at North Carolina. Williams’ career record stands at 701-180,
including 15 years as the head coach at Kansas.
HOLY CROSS JOINS COACH4ADAY PROGRAM: The Crusaders
are partnering with the 3-Point Foundation and Coaching for Literacy to
take part in the Coach4aDay Program during the 2013-2014 season. For
selected games this year, opportunities will be auctioned off to serve as
a guest “assistant coach,” with the proceeds going to charity. This will
involve the chance to sit directly behind the team bench, meet the Holy
Cross coaches and players, and get a glimpse inside the locker room on
game day. Upcoming games which are included come against American
(Jan. 5), Lehigh (Jan. 18) and Bucknell (Feb. 9). For more information,
visit “www.coach4aday.com”.
DRIBBLES: Sophomore guard Eric Green (Mountain House, Calif.)
recorded career highs of 10 points, five rebounds and five assists in
Wednesday’s victory over Sacred Heart ... In the latest NCAA Graduation
Success Rate Report, for the four-class aggregate of entering classes from
2003 through 2006, the Crusader men’s basketball team posted a perfect
100 percent graduation rate. Holy Cross’ overall Graduation Success Rate
for all student-athletes was 98 percent, tied for the fourth-best mark among
all Division I schools ... Holy Cross has received an NCAA Academic
Progress Rate Public Recognition Award in each of the last eight seasons,
for having a multi-year APR in the top 10 percent of all Division I men’s
basketball teams in the nation.

Malcolm Miller expected to lead Holy Cross hoops
By Jennifer Toland
Worcester Telegram & Gazette
November 9, 2013
WORCESTER — During his four high school seasons and
his freshman year at Holy Cross, Malcolm Miller’s mom sat
in the bleachers behind the bench and charted all his statistics
and those of his teammates, registering every rebound, point,
assist, foul.
“It was one of the things she did to stay involved,” Miller
said.
After sharing the information with other parents, Sheila
Miller would take her stat sheets home and file them away
with all the newspaper articles about Malcolm that she carefully clipped and proudly preserved.
“She was one of my biggest supporters,” Miller said.
Sheila lost her battle with cancer and passed away two
weeks before the start of HC’s 2012-13 season.
Miller played with a heavy heart last year, and looking
back, he thinks that probably affected his game a little bit.
“But there’s no need to make excuses,” Miller said. “You
still have to come and show up. It was a rough time, but
everyone is moving forward. I’m doing fine. My family (dad,
Robert, and three siblings) and my team were always there for
me and that really helped out. It’s a different experience, but
there are ways to grow stronger.”
Big things are expected of Miller as the 6-foot-7, 210pound starting small forward gets ready to begin his junior
season.
“We need him to step up and have the season we think he
can have,” Holy Cross coach Milan Brown said. “He’s just a
gifted player. Just his body type and athletic ability off the top
lends everybody to want a lot from him. He’s ready to take
that jump. I’m saying that because we’ve seen it every day in
practice. We don’t go two days in practice and rewind the tape
on him and say, ‘Did you see that?’ “
The Crusaders, coming off a disappointing 12-18 (4-10
Patriot League) campaign, open the year at 5:30 p.m. today against Harvard at TD Garden. The game is part of the
“Coaches vs. Cancer” tripleheader that also includes Boston
University vs. Northeastern at 12:30 and UMass vs. Boston
College at 3.
Miller, who is from Laytonsville, Md., started 26 of the
27 games he played in last year — a shoulder injury sidelined
him late in the season — and he averaged 5.7 points and 5.4
rebounds.
He led the team in rebounding and steals eight times. He
ranked 10th in the Patriot League in blocked shots.
Miller posted his first career double-double with 13 points
and 13 rebounds in HC’s win at Navy and scored a seasonhigh 14 points to go along with eight rebounds in the Crusaders’ home victory against American.
As Brown pointed out and as fans at the Hart Center saw,
Miller showed flashes throughout last season. Now, he needs
to be more consistent.
“I’m definitely ready to take on the challenge,” Miller
said. “I feel like I need to be a bigger role in the defense, the
offense and the team in general. Whatever I can do to help
the team win I feel like I have to shoulder the responsibility
because I believe everyone else is giving the best they can to
help the team win.”
Since arriving at Holy Cross as a freshman, Miller has
added 30 pounds to his frame, giving him more strength to go
along with his speed and length.
In addition to conditioning work during the offseason,
Miller focused on his ball handling, post work and jump shot,
as well as being a better defender.
“He does so many things for us at both ends,” Brown said.
“He’ll be able to manufacture some of his own points getting
to the offensive glass, running in transition and being able to
drive off someone else’s penetration. He’s improved his shot.
I think he feels comfortable going on the blocks and making
a few post moves. If he plays to the level of his capability he
could be the reason that our season could change. I don’t put
that pressure on him, but he understands the ramifications both
ways.”
Miller played in 21 games his freshman year when the
Crusaders won 15 games. He worked his way into the starting
lineup to begin last year. Holy Cross won three of its first four
games in 2012-13, but lost 10 of its last 12.
“This season we’re much better players,” Miller said. “We
have to be more consistent — it’s all the little things. Losing games by three points (79-76 to Lafayette), losing at the
buzzer (in overtime at American) — those things build up and
build up. We don’t want to remember the past, but we want to
learn our lessons from the past and we want to build on that.”
