The YU Macs broke many records with Ryan Turell at the helm, including a 50-game winning streak. After Turell moved on to the NBA’s G-League, the Macs felt the loss, but not for long. Zavi Samet, a rookie on the team, has already established himself as the team’s next Turell. Going 15-29 on field goals and 8-19 on three-pointers, Samet led the Macs with an impressive 38 points.
The Macs may have lost, but Zevi Samet inserting himself into what appeared to be a key leadership role, as well as being the team’s highest scorer, should prove to be extremely important for the young roster’s cohesion and future performance. The sophomore guard was seen multiple times gathering his teammates and giving them a pep talk. One such time was after a foul was called against Margusov and Samet quickly called the team together to give them a morale boost.

ZEVI SAMET – learn the name!
The freshman had one of the greatest games in program history in just his 2nd game, vs a high profile, storied, ranked opponent (#21 IWU). The torch was passed from the great Ryan Turell on this night. Here’s all 38 points, compiled by @macslive pic.twitter.com/ntWXemJqlR— jewboy media (@simmy_cohen) November 16, 2022
