An unholy act in the Holy War

I guess that’s what they call it a holy war.

Villanova and Saint Joe’s hooked up on the Main Line again last night, and as usual what unfolded was another classic.

Most people expected Saint Joe’s to handle a Villanova team that has struggled mightily this year under embattled Jay Wright. Didn’t happen.

We have full coverage from Terry Toohey, and Dennis Deitch.

But I am guessing that the final score isn’t what a lot of people are talking about this morning.

What will have tongues wagging is a decidedly unholy gesture made by Saint Joe’s forward Halil Kanacevic toward ‘Nova Nation. After sinking a three-pointer he offered a middle finger salute to the Villanova faithful.

After the game Martelli indicated his team acted “immaturely.”

Well, it is the Holy War. And this will be one more chapter in this series storied history.
