SJU Men’s Basketball Season Ends

On Tuesday March 19th 2013 the Saint Joseph’s University Men’s Basketball team faced of against the tough opponent in Saint John’s University which happened to be the final game of a disappointing season for Hawks.  In the traditional NIT tournament, the first round of play occurred at Hagan arena. The game started off with great defense at both ends of the floor with the Hawks sneaking out an early half time lead 32-26.

It  seemed as though the Hawks may play another game if the tempo stayed in their corner. However, like many of the second half’s throughout the year the SJU offense was not able to keep up with the rapid scoring of their opponent ultimately losing 63-61 on a last second shot by sophomore guard Sir’ Dominic Pointer. Carl Jones led all scoring in his last collegiate game with 21 points to keep spirits high. For seniors in the Arena it would be the last game they saw as University students, a sad day for many observers.
