ST JOE's +7......$150.....putting this as a small play for now. Saint Joseph's will visit George Washington in a matchup of division leaders. The Hawks, at 12-2 in the Atlantic 10, can clinch the top overall seed in next week's conference tournament with a victory. The Colonials are the leader in the A-10 West with a 10-4 conference record, and an 18-6 overall mark.
GW will have to contain Pat Carroll, who is avg, 19.4 ppg, shooting 48% from the field and 51% from 3 pt range. To go with that, St Joe's has a stellar defense, in which their are only allowing oppts, 59 ppg, tops in the leauge, 9th overall in college basketball.
With a 63-56 win over Temple on Feb. 22, Saint Joseph?s attained its goal of becoming the only team other than UMass (1992-96) to win five straight Atlantic 10 regular season crowns. SJU has been in first place for all but eight days in the past four years. Phil Martelli received all of the nation?s coaching accolades last season for the Hawks? 30-2 run, but what?s he?s done this year might be an even more impressive job of coaching. After going 3-6 in the first nine games, Martelli has guided SJU to a 12-4 record since then, including a 12-2 mark
