Last season was a rough one for the Hawks. Phil Martelli’s men were hampered by injuries which led to them finishing 11-20 on the season. While they should be primed for a bounce-back year, the Atlantic 10 coach’s poll has them predicted to finish third in the conference and that may be an ambitious goal. The trio of Shavar Newkirk, Lamarr Kimble and Pierfrancesco Oliva have a lot to prove after missing large parts of the season (or in Oliva’s case, the entire season) and they will likely begin the year with some rust.
