Game Stories...
• The Hawks look to even their Big 5 record as Saint Joseph's enters the game at 1-2 and are tied with Villanova for the all-time lead in wins at 84.
• Currently tied for sixth in the standings at 6-6, Saint Joseph's has already secured a bid into the 2008 Atlantic 10 Championships.
• Saint Joseph's still has a chance to earn a bye in this year's tournament, if they win their final two contests and Charlotte and Dayton lose both of their remaining two games. However, should the Hawks falter in the last two games, they could finish as far down as 12th.
• Senior guard Timisha Gomez's 86.2 free-throw percentage is currently seventh highest among SJU single-season marks.
