Hawk Talk Podcast

Tony and Pete break down the recent SLU and St. Bonaventure matchups, keys to success in the La Salle game, and read fan mailbag comments. Enjoy!

We are lucky to be joined by the voice of St. Joe’s basketball himself, Mr. Matt Martucci (recorded February 21st). We get insights into his thoughts on the season and what he considers a reasonable expectation for the rest of the year. The second part of the episode is Tony and Peter (recorded after the Dayton Game on February 19th) discussing our past three games of UMass, George Mason, and Dayton. 

Enjoy! #THWND

Fordham, Davidson, Xs and Os, and the state of the program. 

In this episode of Hawk Talk, Tony and Peter talk about the last four games: VCU, George Mason, Duquense, and St. Bonaventure. They dive into what it means to be a team that is 9-11 with a potential  1st round draft pick, an elite shooter, and a dominant big man while still being weary of the fact it's a 7 man rotation. There's no simple answer to what is wrong or how to fix it. They do however give simple answers to the fan mailbag. Enjoy!

Love is hard, especially when it comes to loving a team that hurts you again and again...In this episode, Tony and Pete catch up on the La Salle loss and GW win. With the range of outcomes this year, there's no certainty with what the future holds but what is certain is Hawk Talk will work endlessly to bring fans together in some capacity (Al Sham live recording coming soon).  Also in this episode is a shout out to Pete's dog (Kobe) for interrupting the audio pretty badly during the fan mailbag.

In this episode, Tony and Pete are joined by none other than the notorious Gola Boys. They talk Ashley Howard, the state of both programs, predictions for the season series, and thoughts on how La Salle may revitalize their team and program. The episode finishes in a lovely fashion- with fan mailbag questions/comments. Enjoy!

In this episode, Tony and Pete address the people cordially about the team's most recent struggles against a solid URI team and the hottest team in basketball, Davidson. The episode begins broadly with a call to one's sense where fans- mostly, the haters- are asked to simply be more neutral when considering the outcomes of a game against a versatile and talented URI team. Tony shares what it took for him to win an A10 championship (spoiler alert, it doesn't have to do with fretting about the past). The episode ends beautifully with the fan mailbag and some closing thoughts heading into La Salle. 

In this episode of Hawk Talk, Tony and Pete breakdown the Richmond win, Tony defends his A10 Talk Lange defense article (hence the "Lange Gang" episode title), and we finish by reading mailbag comments. We talk Lynn Greer III, predictions for Davidson, and St. Joe's newfound sense of balance with Cam Brown as the fifth starter, and even talk about the meaning of beauty. 

Matt Gifford, @HHHardwood, joins the show for a holiday special and an exciting preview of conference play. Tony, Pete, and Matt talk the past, future, and present of St. Joe's basketball. The conversation starts with thoughts about Bradley and the overall impression and takeaways from non-conference play. They get into what to expect for the second half of the season, who Matt thinks the most notable guard to look out for, and much more. Enjoy!

In this episode, Tony and Pete are on cloud 9. Their new frenemy, @WeGiveAHootTU gets a wonderful new profile picture thanks to some good family fun. The guys sit down and talk SJU's Big 5 wins over Penn and Temple. They then read fan mailbag comments, ranging from the Women's Basketball Team's Hawk to Pete's brother who is very sadly a Nova fan.
