Golden Knights Coleman and Llanos pick up Liberty League weekly honors again

Posted

Senior Felix Llanos (Queens, NY) and freshman John Coleman (Potsdam, NY) have led the charge for the Clarkson University Men's Basketball team all season long, and their performances this weekend once again led them to Liberty League Weekly Honors on Monday.

Llanos, named a Liberty League Performer of the Week for the fourth time this year, averaged 23.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game in a pair of victories over Bard and Vassar. Llanos buried 11 3-pointers in the wins, accounting for nearly three-quarters of his points over the weekend. On the season, Llanos is leading the conference at 20.0 points per game and ranks in the top 40 in the nation in scoring. He also is second in the league in 3-point field goal percentage (43.8%) and is the top performer in 3-pointers made (64), which places him in the top five nationally.

Coleman, chosen as the Liberty League Rookie of the Week for the fifth time this season, averaged 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game in another solid all-around performance over the weekend. Coleman ranks in the top 10 in virtually every category in the Liberty League, including scoring (14.8 ppg - 6th), rebounding (7.0 rpg - 3rd), field-goal percentage (68.4 - 1st), assists (3.3 apg - 9th), steals (1.6 spg - 6th), blocks (0.7 bpg - 7th), assist/turnover ratio (2.55 - 2nd), and offensive rebounding (3.8 orpg - 1st). He ranks second in the country in field-goal percentage, just one make away from the top spot.

The Golden Knights are currently 13-4 overall and 6-2 in the Liberty League, the second-best conference record in the league. Clarkson hosts St. Lawrence on Tuesday, then takes on RIT and Hobart at Alumni Gymnasium this weekend.
