You know it is a special season when Coach Martelli opens the press conference saying his grandson is now dressing as a player rather than a coach.
I can officially say that I am impressed. Coming into this
season I never thought I would say that, but this St. Joe’s team is good…very
good. The Hawks finally impressed me yesterday; they kept their foot on the gas
and never took it easy on Fordham. This led to a complete blow out by SJU. The
Hawks 14-3 overall and 4-1 in the A-10 puts them in 2nd place in
their league, and I do not see them going anywhere.
This was not a basketball game; this was a complete
dominating performance by St. Joe’s. At one put during the game you could here
fans even saying that the game was not fair. Early on it looked as though we
were going to see a good A-10 matchup, however this was not the case. The Hawks
played well to start but they kept allowing Fordham to get back into the game.
This completely changed in the 2nd half; the Hawks DeAndre Bembry
took over. Bembry took complete control of the game using not only his scoring
ability but rebounding and defense as well.
DeAndre Bembry would leave the game with a double-double and the team
would win 80-55. Throughout the 2nd half it became apparent that
Fordham was not going to compete, and the Hawks completely took over.
Looking back at this game, we can say that it is a major
stepping-stone for the Hawks. This was truly a team effort, with each and every
player getting valuable minutes. There is no doubt in my mind that this team is
good and they can compete at the highest level. Looking ahead it should be a
pretty easy schedule for the Hawks. It looks as though we may be seeing a
tournament team on Hawk Hill. If you are student, there is no doubt that this
will be a very “SPECIAL” season.
