The Hawks came into tonight’s game riding what seems to be
an unbelievable hot streak. So far this season the Hawks look like a team that
cannot be beat. After their domination of Big 5 teams in the past two games SJU
looked to take on UMASS. However, this was a game that was not pretty if you
are a Hawks fan. The team did not play well out of the gate, struggling from
both ends of the ball. Though they did struggle, the Hawks were able to pull
off a big win against the Minutemen to take their winning streak to 6 games.
Isaiah Miles came right out of the gate dominating for the
St. Joe’s and he would continue that trend throughout the game. Because of the
effectiveness of DeAndre’s play it is obvious to see Miles has became an even
greater player, and their all-around best offensive player in the last few
games. The chemistry that we see each game between Miles and Bembry became even
more apparent tonight. At one point during the game the Hawks lost their lead
and began to struggle. However, the leadership combination of Bembry and Miles
got the team right back on track.
The main issue that St. Joe’s had at the start of this
season was the inability put teams away. Throughout the season we have seen
their leads become larger and larger at the end of games. However, tonight’s
game was different. SJU never really seemed to get a grasp of the game which
made them battle to the end. There is no surprise that the Hawks came out with
a win tonight, but the fans wanted to see a better game all-around.
Even though this team did not play as well as they should
have, at least we can say they got the win. If we continue to see the great
leadership out of Bembry and Miles there is no doubt in my mind this will be a
tournament team. The Hawks have to continue playing well if they want to prove
themselves. As any fan on Hawk Hill knows we are beginning to get the National
attention we deserve. It is time to prove that we are March Madness worthy!
