Bob Hurley and St. Anthony captured their 50th straight game Tuesday when they won at Plainfield, 43-31.

UCLA-bound point guard Kyle Anderson is now 50-0 since coming over to St. Anthony from Paterson Catholic. (more…)

After a pair of weekend wins over St. Peter’s Prep at the Dan Finn Classic and over Lithonia (Ga.) Miller Grove at the Hoophall Classic, Bob Hurley’s St. Anthony Friars are a perfect 12-0.

Following last year’s 33-0 season that culminated in Hurley’s fourth mythical national championship, the Friars have now won 45 games in a row.

Their last loss came in the New Jersey state tournament to Trenton Catholic on March 13, 2010.

UCLA-bound senior point guard Kyle Anderson, who transferred to St. Anthony from now-defunct Paterson Catholic at the start of the 2010-11 season, is now 45-0 in a St. Anthony uniform. (more…)

Dan Hurley and the Wagner Seahawks are riding the school’s first seven-game winning streak since the 1979-80 season.

With a 14-3 record, a 9-2 non-conference mark and a 5-1 record in the Northeast Conference, Wagner is off to its best start since the 1955-56 campaign.

Yet as good as things are right now, the future could be even brighter.

That’s because Dwaun Anderson, a former Mr. Basketball in Michigan, began practicing with the team last Tuesday and will be eligible next season. (more…)

The list of the greatest basketball players in St. Anthony’s storied history usually comes down to a handful of names.

Bobby Hurley, “Mandy” Johnson, Rodrick Rhodes, Jerry Walker, David Rivers and Tyshawn Taylor are among those in the conversation.

Bobby Hurley led his team to the inaugural Tournament of Champions title in 1989 and went on to appear in three Final Fours and lead Duke to back-to-back NCAA titles.

Walker was a four-year starter, won four state titles and lost only five games in his career under legendary coach Bob Hurley. (more…)

HACKENSACK, N.J. — After not playing each other for more than a decade, St. Anthony facing off against St. Benedict’s could now be an annual affair.

“It’s a good game for us,” Hall of Fame St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley told SNY.tv Sunday after his team won its 40th straight game, 51-50, over St. Benedict’s at the New Year’s Jump Off at Hackensack High School.

“We want to play Jersey games. I’m an old guy, I don’t want to do much traveling.

The last time Wagner played two Big East teams in one season, they went on to win the Northeast Conference championship during the 2002-3 season.

Nine years later, head coach Dan Hurley signed the Seahawks up for out-of-conference tilts at defending champion UConn and Friday at No. 15 Pitt.

Could history repeat itself?

The Seahawks hope so. (more…)

Josh Brown’s verbal commitment to Temple is done after the 2013 St. Anthony point guard and St. Anthony assistant coach Eric Harrield spoke again with Temple head coach Fran Dunphy Monday night.

“He verbally committed last night to Temple,” St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley told SNY.tv.

At 6-foot-2 and just a junior, Brown has a big upside going forward.

“He’s converting from being just an athlete, like a wing player,” said Hurley, coach of the reigning mythical national champs. “He’s been moved over to play the point and his on-the-job training began last April or so. In the first stage it’s gone very well. He has a good personality to be a point guard. He’s a very friendly kid. He’s a good talker. He plays extremely hard. (more…)

NEW YORK — Bobby Hurley thinks Coach K could easily get to 1,000 career victories and remain the all-time wins leader potentially forever.

“I would assume, [if] he stays healthy,” Hurley, who led Duke to back-to-back NCAA titles in the early 1990s, told SNY.tv. “I don’t think that they’re going to start losing games anytime soon.” (more…)

St. Anthony coach Bob Hurley talks hoops and the Penn State scandal on SNY’s ‘Daily News Live.’ UCLA-bound guard Kyle Anderson and the defending national champion Friars will play in the SNY Invitational in January.

NEWARK, N.J. — It was an emotional couple of days for Dan and Bobby Hurley last week when they spent back-to-back days recruiting at North Jersey powerhouses St. Anthony and St. Benedict’s Prep.

Wearing green Wagner shirts, the brothers spent Monday at St. Anthony, where they both played under their father, Naismith Hall of Fame coach Bob Hurley.

A day later, they walked into the St. Benedict’s gym, where Dan spent nine years helping forge the Gray Bees into a perennial national high school power. (more…)
