SAINT JOSEPH'S HAWKS NEWS

Returns to floor Thursday Forrest (lower leg) didn't score (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt) but recorded one steal during Thursday's loss to UMass.

Impact The sophomore returned to the court after missing the previous six matchups with a lower leg injury but was a non-factor across 12 minutes of action. With the loss, Forrest's season comes to a close. He averaged 10.4 points and 3.3 rebounds across 14 games played.

Possible for Thursday Updating a previous report, Forrest (lower leg) has a chance to return Thursday against Massachusetts, Damichael Cole of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Forrest was previously considered to be out for the season, but he warmed up individually prior to Wednesday's game, so the line of thinking is that he can't be officially ruled out. The sophomore shot 35.5 percent from distance in his 13 appearances this season, so in theory, he'd provide some long-range shooting off the bench.

Scoring binge continues at UR Funk had a team-high 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Monday at Richmond, adding six rebounds, two assists and a steal.

Impact Funk was coming off of a career-high 36 points against Dayton.. He's now reached 20+ in three straight and four of his last six and only Kansas in November held him to single-digits. He'll look to continue this high production level into the A-10 Tournament for as long as the Hawks are around, and should be viewed as a viable Tier 2 option a year from now, as his scoring needs can only go up if/when Ryan Daly departs.

Double-double at Richmond Hall finished with 11 points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals Monday at Richmond.

Impact Hall continues to contribute across the board at a high rate for the Hawks. It was his third double-double of the year to go with a triple-double. He looks like a great building block for St. Joe's entering next season, and someone to target in season-long Tier 2 leagues, where his high distribution level can make him an elite option.

Impact Funk and guard Ryan Daly (25 points) were nearly the entirety of the Hawks offense Wednesday, accounting for more than 60 percent of the team's scoring on the night. After Saint Joseph's endured a three-week shutdown earlier this month due to COVID-19-related concerns, Funk hasn't missed a beat in his return to action. He's helped lead Saint Joseph's to wins in both of the team's games since the hiatus ended, averaging 28.0 points, 5.5 boards, 3.5 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 1.5 blocks between those contests while shooting 50 percent from the field and 85 percent from the charity stripe.

Daly has now put up 55 points in his first two games back, shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 47.1 percent from three-point range between those contests.

Drops 30 points in return to action Daly had 30 points (13-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks Saturday against La Salle.

Impact Daly had missed 10 contests due to a thumb injury, but clearly hasn't missed a beat. The Hawks still have a couple of games left on their schedule, and Daly can be a difference maker to lineups even with the limited remaining contests. As such, he's a priority waiver add wherever available.

Triple-double against La Salle Hall had a career-high 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and a block Saturday against La Salle.

Impact The triple-double has arguably been a long-time coming. While it was just Hall's second game with 10+ rebounds, he's had seven or more six times while this was his third game with 10+ assists in his last six contests. Hall averages only 9.3 points, but has been a wonderful all-around contributor as a freshman. The Hawks appear to have a piece to build around.
