He would provide the winning points on a traditional three-point play that put St. Joe’s ahead by a point with 33.6 seconds remaining. On the next possession Glover-Toscano blocked a three-point attempt by Bonnies guard Darryl Simmons II. SJU took a 68 – 64 victory at the Hagan Arena.
“I was just trying to win,” Glover-Toscano simply said about his performance. “I was hungry, the whole team was hungry.”
“I think these guys have figured out a way down the stretch of these games what needs to be done finishing games,” said Saint Joseph’s Coach Steve Donahue.
The Will to Win Showed at the End
The Hawks finished the game on an 8 – 0 run wiping out a 64 – 60 Bonnies lead with just over two and a half minutes to play.

The lead changed four times in the second half and was tied four times. It would take resilience and the home team showed it.
“Great resilience,” said Donahue. “Whatever the situation calls for, figure it out and let’s compete. We got off to a great start, and then we couldn’t make a shot, and they made a great run. That was our challenge, how are we going to react.”
The SJU Winning Streak is at 3 Games
The wins are all in conference which gives St. Joe’s a 3 – 2 record in the Atlantic 10. The winning streak started with a team meeting.

The result is a three-game winning streak in the league.
“We needed it deep down in our soul, our hearts and everything,” said Simpson. “We looked at ourselves in the mirror, and when we looked at ourselves in the mirror, we saw something we didn’t like. So we were able to look at each other and just figure it out.”
