Wilkes Men's Basketball Season Update

Coming off of an 8-17 overall record and a 5-1 conference record last season, the Colonels are looking to turn things around and have a winning season.

In his ninth season as head coach, Izzi Metz holds a 101-95 overall record and is utilizing his coaching experience to continue holding a positive overall record for this team.

“The team has been working hard so far on coming together, both offensively and defensively,” said Metz. “I have been very pleased with the overall attitude and hunger to improve each day.”

In the 2021-22 season, Wilkes was ranked fifth in the league in scoring with 1763 total points and averaged 70.5 points-per-game (PPG). The Colonels sat at third for 3-point field-goal percentages at 0.347, making 213 3-point shots.

Wilkes returned 10 upperclassmen to their roster while adding five first-year’s to the team.

Thus far (Jan. 17, 2023), the Colonels sit at 9-7 with nine regular-season games remaining. They are ranked 10th in the league in scoring with 1139 total points and averaged 71.2 PPG.

Metz, his staff and the team look forward to continuing their winning season.

“We believe the way to be successful is process driven,” said Metz. “We are excited and look forward to people coming out to the Marts Center and supporting the Colonels.”
