I was told that Martelli made the comment. We have Bucknell and the Buckeyes coming up. First the JV and then the varsity.....or something to that nature. If Martelli truly made this statement than he is a tad on the arrogant side. Martelli is an overrated coach who couldn't recruit good enough kids off of an elite 8 appearance to be competitive this season. Nelson and West took that team to the Elite 8 and it is becoming clear that Phil had not much to do with it. You would think the start of this season would have humbled him. Apparantly not. After beating Niagra, Bucknell appears to have the talent to give the Hawks a good game....even if they are just a "JV" team. Classless.

Classless? - you must be kidding. Phil Martelli is one of the most solid and upstanding individuals not only in college basketball, but in all walks of life.

As for recruits, we had locked up our scholarships before the tournament run. The impact of that is seen in our stellar incoming class we have signed up for next year.

If Bucknell is on the 05-06 schedule look forward to taking a beating from them.

Another part is getting the team to gel and having players understand their roles. Your post is JV and classless. To the other fans, good luck on Tuesday. Looking forward to a good game.

It doesn't have to be in print to be inappropriate. I was simply pointing out that one good season does not give them the right to look down on opponents. These games serve a good purpose for both the bigger conference and smaller conference schools. It is a unique feature that is a great part of college basketball. In response to the point that recruiting is delayed, this is true, and I admit that was an incorrect statement. But it was an arrogant, careless, rather than classless, comment that a team with victories over only Davidson, UC Davis, and Fairfield should not be able to make. I think the Hawks will win this game, but I also know that Bucknell is a better team then Drexel....we all know how that went. 'Ray Bucknell
