PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carl Jones scored 16 points and Saint Joseph’s had a school-record 17 blocks in an 81-50 rout of Morgan State on Wednesday night, making coach Phil Martelli the Hawks’ all-time leader in career victories.
Martelli, in his 17th season, has a record of 310-212, surpassing the 309 wins posted by Bill Ferguson from 1928-53.
Saint Joseph’s (10-3) has won five straight and seven of the last eight while the Bears (2-8) saw their two-game winning streak end.
Halil Kanacevic had seven blocks, 12 assists and eight rebounds — but no points — for the Hawks, whose previous record of 16 blocks was set Nov. 30 against Drexel.
