Eight games into St. Joe’s season, the Hawks looked like they were
headed for another disappointing season.
They were 4-4, with blowout loses to
Louisiana Sate University and Villanova on their resume. But Phil Martelli’s
squad wouldn't go down without a fight. The Hawks won nine of their next 10
games and finished the season winning 20 of their final 25, which included a run to an Atlantic 10 Tournament Title.
The team that hoisted the championship trophy in Brooklyn at
the Barclays Center wasn't the team that walked off the floor dejected after a 30 point loss to Big 5 rival Villanova.
