Hawks open game with 31-9 run PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Once Jameer Nelson got the basket early in the second half that moved him into second place on Saint Joseph's career scoring list, he decided it was time for an assist. Nelson asked coach Phil Martelli for backup point guard Dwayne Lee to play the rest of the game. "He works hard just like everyone else," Nelson said. "He puts the pressure on me in practice every day. I tip my hat off to him." Nelson scored 13 points, and Delonte West had 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead the sixth-ranked Hawks to a 79-35 victory over Fordham on Tuesday night. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=240132603
I heard Martelli in an interview on Jim Rome's show today, he praised Jameer as "the best basketball player in the country from the neck up". This team is for real, people are going to have to start taking notice.

I told everyone before this season that Jameer was for real and the Hawks were gonna make some noise.....EVERYONE shrugged me off. They findin' out tho.
