St. Joe's continues to prove it belongs in select group
SAINT JOSEPH'S has played its way into the NCAA Tournament. If the selections had been yesterday, the Hawks would have been well into the field, perhaps as a 10 or 11 seed.
After winning 83-74 at St. Bonaventure Saturday, its 17th win in 20 games, SJU (21-7, 11-3 Atlantic 10) also was very close to clinching a bye to the A-10 Tournament quarterfinals.
Given that the at-large...

How Langston Galloway reinvented his game
Despite Langston Galloway’s scoring average (nearly 14 points per game) and perimeter scoring (39 percent from three) a year ago, the guard from Saint Joseph’s had an underwhelming junior season. His efficiency rating — 110.9 — was the lowest it had been during his three seasons on Hawk Hill, and with a large percentage of returning minutes remaining in 2014, there was an...

No. 13 Saint Louis tops Hawks, wins 15th straight
Saint Louis coach Jim Crews apologized for not having the right words to describe one of the best teams in the nation.
''You know how boring I am,'' he said.
His Billikens more than make up for it on the court, using a smothering defense that always has a hand in the face and eyes on the ball.
And now, a spot in the record book.
Rob Loe scored 17 points and Jordair...

St. Joe’s Halil Kanacevic Gives Opposing Crown The Double Bird, Then Lost The Game
A simple rule of thumb is if you are going to flip the double bird to an opposing team’s crowd, you better make sure that you win the game. St. Joe’s forward Halil Kanacevic unfortunately didn’t follow this rule and his double bird actually was the catalyst in a 65-61 loss to Villanova. Kanacevic was having a rough night from the field, but managed to make a big three pointer...
