This weekend, the Steve Donahue Era began at St. Joseph’s with another thrilling chapter in Philadelphia Collegiate Basketball History — a 76–65 defeat of Drexel on the Hawks’ Campus.
But neither the new basketball chapter nor only the second game of a new season was the most exciting part of Saturday at Hagan Arena for Hawks fans.
With just under six minutes left in the contest, St. Joe’s (2–0) went on a 16–5 run to hand Drexel its first loss of the season. Spearheading that run was former LaSalle transfer Deuce Jones II.
Jones came off the St. Joseph’s bench to score twenty-nine points, including twelve converted free throws and a perfect 3 of 3 from beyond the arc.
Drexel (1–1) was led by a double-double from Guard Villiam Garcia Adsten.
