It feels good to be 10-2!

The Hawks have started their season 10-2 and it feels really good to be on Hawk Hill! This team has played extremely well this season. St. Joe’s has truly surprised everyone even gaining 2 votes for the top 25. This team keeps winning and they are in a great position going into A-10 play. Each and every win that the team has this season has been a quality offensive showing. Coach Martelli seems to finally put everything together on the court for this team.

Going into A-10 play the Hawks are currently tied with Dayton for 2nd and George Washington is a head of them at 11-2. The Hawks were not picked to be in the position that they are in currently, and that is what has been truly shocking. Many fans are still stating that maybe the Hawks have had a much easier schedule than the other teams in front of them.  However, I disagree the Hawks have played extremely well on the offensive side. This team has shown time after time this season that they can score on the highest level. If this team continues to see the leadership from DeAndre Bembry and Isaiah Miles they will be successful. Fans and students on Hawk Hill are starting to believe in the hype of this team.

This St. Joe’s team is in a very nice spot going into A-10 play. The first game that they play in their division is against Richmond. There is no doubt that the 8-4 Spiders are a competitive team. But, looking ahead at this schedule it looks to me like St. Joe’s has a pretty good shot to compete. SJU may have an opportunity to make it to tournament play this season. The Hawks need to keep their offense playing at a high level, and if their defense improves they can truly compete. 

THWND!!!!
