Spring Break has arrived. As students are out of classes, the basketball team is finishing up the season and getting ready for the Big East tournament. On Saturday night the Hall defeated the Marquette Golden Eagles 85 to 72. The team had a very good performance on the whole and really showed what they can do if they play their best. Although the rest of the team did well, Jeremy Hazell was the leading scorer and the main factor in the win, which is not a good sign for next year, as Hazell is a senior.
On the bright side, though, all three freshmen had good games and showed what this team will look like over the next couple of years. The team faces Rutgers on Tuesday in their first game in the Big East Tournament. This is a winnable game for the Hall as long as they play the way they have been playing the past week. If they beat Rutgers they will face St. John’s in the second round, which will be a very tough game. Not only will St John’s be looking for revenge for the embarrassing loss last week, it is also at Madison Square Garden, which is sometimes used for St John’s home games and will probably be packed with St John’s fans.
Can they pull it out?
