PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, riding the momentum of a last-second road victory, will look to carry that energy into Hagan Arena on Monday night against the Saint Joseph’s Hawks in a nonconference men’s basketball clash. Coastal Carolina (7-6) arrives fresh off a dramatic 76-74 win at Old Dominion on Saturday, sealed by a Joshua Beadle jumper at the buzzer. The Chanticleers’ success often hinges on the offensive production of guard RaSheed Jones, who scored 23 points in that victory. Jones has been a volume scorer, averaging 17.2 points over his last five games, though his efficiency can fluctuate. Support comes from Beadle, who added 19 points and four assists against ODU, and forward Nadjrick Peat, who nearly posted a double-double with nine points and nine rebounds. Saint Joseph’s (7-4) has won four of its last five, most recently a 67-51 home win over Delaware State on Thursday. The Hawks have shown resilience, edging Temple 70-69 on the road earlier this month, but have struggled against high-major competition, falling to Syracuse and Virginia Tech. A key player for the Hawks is Austin Williford, who led the team with 14 points against Delaware State. His role has expanded recently, averaging 10.3 points over his last three appearances after playing just seven minutes in the loss to Syracuse. The game presents a contrast in paths. Coastal Carolina has played a demanding road schedule, with this being its eighth true away game. Saint Joseph’s has been steadier at home, going 5-1 at Hagan Arena this season. The Chanticleers will need to contain Williford and guard Derek Simpson while finding consistent scoring beyond Jones to challenge the Hawks’ defense. For Saint Joseph’s, the contest serves as a final tune-up before Atlantic 10 play begins next week. The Hawks host Arcadia on Dec. 28 before traveling to Saint Louis on Dec. 31. Coastal Carolina opens Sun Belt Conference play at home against Georgia Southern on Jan. 1. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. EST Monday.
