Myles Powell picks his 5 favorite games at Seton Hall

There are tons of moments Seton Hall's Myles Powell could have highlighted during his career at Seton Hall like when he was named 2020 Big East Player of the Year or when he was a finalist for the Naismith Award, but he says nothing comes close to the latest goal he accomplished — becoming the first in his family to graduate college. 

"This feeling that I have flowing through my body right now is better than any feeling that I had on the basketball court that I can remember this year," Powell told Andy Katz on graduation day during the latest episode of . "It's kinda so surreal, like I said, me just being the first in the family."

Powell was one of the best guards in Division I basketball during his time at Seton Hall. He led the Pirates in scoring his senior year with 21 points per game and was only the fifth Seton Hall player to eclipse 2,000 career points. 

Powell discusses his best performances of his career, what it means to graduate from college and how his relationship with his incarcerated brother helped propel him to success on and off the court on this episode of MM365. His conversation with Katz begins at about the 17-minute, 30-second of the podcast. This episode also features Michigan's Zavier Simpson.
