Some people seem bothered by Steve Donahue being named COY.
- Fired after going 8-19 at Penn
- Hired by Billy Lange as an assistant
- Got thrust into the HC position when Lange abruptly left for the Knicks
- Overcame a 2-3 start to finish 21-10 and 13-5 in #A10MBB
I think he deserves it. #THWND

Following Saint Joseph's win over George Mason tonight
I asked Saint Joseph's Coach Steve Donahue about message his team sends to the rest of Atlantic 10 & rest of College Basketball

A four factors table for the 81-63 Saint Joseph's win. Saint Joseph's posted a 126.56 offensive rating (84th percentile), 60.50% eFG% (83rd), and a 4.70% turnover rate (100th percentile).

DEUCE JONES AGAIN, AT THE BUZZER!!!
Initially ruled a two, but it looked like a three. After further review, it was.
St. Joe’s comes back to knock off Temple, 70-69. #THWND
Deuce Jones singlehandedly brought St. Joe’s back before Temple took the lead again on two free throws.
I’ll reset after a Donahue timeout:
The Owls 69, the Hawks 67, seven seconds left and St. Joe’s holding for the tie or win. #THWND #TUMBB
At halftime, St. Joe’s has a 33-25 lead on Temple. #THWND
St. Joe’s, which has the clear fan advantage among any school so far (Villanova will almost certainly clear that later), has a 27-22 lead on Temple with 3:58 remaining before halftime.
Jaiden Glover, the St. John’s transfer, has eight points for the Hawks. #THWND
It was 5-5 at the U16, it’s 10-10 at the U12.
Temple and St. Joe’s are as evenly matched as you can get with 11:53 remaining in the opening stanza. In addition to the point totals, the Owls and Hawks each have seven rebounds and three assists. #TUMBB #THWND
It’s a tie game through the first 4:49, with Temple and St. Joe’s engaging in a defensive struggle in the opening minutes. Still waiting for Swish Gilyard, who you probably remember from Manhattan if you’ve followed here, to check in for the Owls. #TUMBB #THWND
Off and running in the second of three. St. Joe’s is going with its alternate black with “Hawk Hill” on the front, Temple with the home white with “Temple Owls” on the front that I’d imagine would be throwbacks. Neither team has scored over a minute in. #TUMBB #THWND
