<p>Kevin Anderson again was spectacular as the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/richmond-spiders">Richmond Spiders</a> were crowned Atlantic-10 conference champions beating the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/dayton-flyers">Dayton Flyers</a> 67-54. Anderson scored a game high 23 points and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.</p>
<p>The win gives Richmond the automatic bid to the <span class="caps">NCAA</span> Tournament.</p>
<p>As the tournament concludes I have pieced together an SB Nation award ceremony for the best and worst performances.</p>
<p>Best Team: Temple University. Surprise! Temple, as I mentioned before, is the most consistent team in the A-10. A poor shooting night prevented them from reaching the conference final for the fourth straight year. Come <span class="caps">NCAA</span> tournament time, few mid majors have a chance to excel like the Owls.</p>
<p>Best Overall Player: Kevin Anderson, University of Richmond. Anderson is the quickest player in the A-10 and <span class="caps">MVP</span> of the conference tournament. He put on a show this weekend, attacking the rim and knocking down big shot after big shot. His speed makes him nearly impossible to trap.</p>
<p>Unfortunately his size limits him in terms of draftability. Listed at a generous 6’0” he may lack the height needed to compete with the “new breed” of <span class="caps">NBA</span> point guards. His quickness and ability to finish will definitely give him a shot.</p>
<p>Best Coach: I have to go with Chris Mooney of Richmond on this one. Mooney, a Phelan Coach of the Year finalist guided the Spiders to an A-10 Championship. Along with his ability to win big games, Mooney has the respect and admiration of his players. This was no more evident then it was at the end of the A-10 Final when player after player walked off the floor and embraced their coach.</p>
<p>Since I am a ridiculous homer, I am giving an honorable mention to Temple coach Fran Dunphy.</p>
<p>From my vantage point I could see directly into the huddles of several teams. Some were disorganized with players and coaches yelling at each other. Others were calm and disciplined, with a coach speaking while the players listened.</p>
<p>Temple’s huddle was the latter.<br>
<br>
Best Coaching Staff: I’m going with Dayton here, based strictly on pure volume. I think Brian Gregory is a great coach and his staff does a terrific job…And by staff I mean <span class="caps">STAFF</span>! It looked like there were two of everything on Dayton’s coaching staff. Two coaches standing up, two coaches sitting down, two writing down stats, two checking stats, and four managers standing a foot away from my ears yelling instructions for the full 40 minutes.</p>
<p>Annoying? Yes…Very. However, they do not realize I will be heading to Dayton during final exams with a megaphone to yell “RED,” “MAYDAY,” and “HIGH HAND” at 2am in front of their dorm rooms.</p>
<p>Best <span class="caps">NBA</span> Prospect: Chris Wright. Wright has the height, athleticism, and explosiveness to succeed at the <span class="caps">NBA</span> level. Not to mention the way he fills out a stat sheet. He led Dayton this year with 13 points and 8 rebounds per game.</p>
<p>He needs to work on his ability to finish the ball if he wants scouts to stand up and take notice, but his attributes alone make him a desirable <span class="caps">NBA</span> prospect.</p>
<p><a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/25637/justin-harper">Justin Harper</a> of Richmond deserves an honorable mention in this category. Harper, another high flying senior wing, has exploded onto the draft scene this year and his play at the A-10 tournament certainly will help his <span class="caps">NBA</span> status.</p>
<p>Best Story: This one could have been between two teams; St. Joseph’s and Dayton. Both were underdogs coming into the tournament needing a win on their opponent’s home floor in order to advance to Atlantic City. I have to give the edge to St. Joe’s.</p>
<p>Dayton did enter the A-10 Tournament as the 9th seed, however they were 19-12 this season. In most conferences that‘s a 1st-3rd seed. St. Joe’s entered the tournament as the 12th and final seed, after a 9-21 regular season.</p>
<p>Six of the seven players who contributed most this season are underclassmen. Of those six only one is a sophomore. That is what makes their run to the semi-finals all the more impressive. St. Joe’s are young, talented, and now experienced. They are a team to look out for in college basketball next year.</p>
<p>Best Fans: Temple. The prop “big heads” were a hot commodity for the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/temple-owls">Temple Owls</a> fans this year in Atlantic City. Everyone from coaches to the last player on the bench had a giant head floating around the student section. From hilarious signs, (Vamos Juan!) to dancing trombone players, the student section was the largest and loudest.</p>
<p>Best Mascot: “Duke” the mascot for Duquesne University. Duke took center stage during the Dukes only game of the tournament impressing the crowd with his wide array of dance moves. I believe at one point I saw him doing the “Dougie”. (Before <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/101095/john-wall">John Wall</a>, I had no idea what the “Dougie” was. I still don’t…Someone please tell me. It’s an energy drink right?)</p>
<p>Worst Mascot: I was not going to give out any negative awards until I saw “Spidey”, the mascot for Richmond. Throughout the weekend some mascots were good, some decent and just one…the void of rhythm. Spiders are known for their agility and quickness. Spidey would make his arachnid brethren wince. His jerky motions made Elaine Benes look like J-Lo. He reminded me of that drunk guy you see dancing horribly at a wedding and saying to yourself, “Wow that guy is hammered!” (Is that you in there Matt?)</p>
<p>The costume itself also left a little to be desired. Not many folks can pull off a cape with a sideways hat and converse, and Spidey was no exception.</p>
<p>(Dayton’s mascot receives honorable mention in the “poor dancing ability” category as well.)</p>
<p>So there you have it. A final recap of an exciting week of basketball at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. Be sure to follow the action next weekend as several A-10 teams look to win the grand prize, <span class="caps">NCAA</span> Championship.</p>

<p>Yesterday Philadelphia was eliminated from the Atlantic 10 Tournament as Temple University and St. Joseph's both lost in the semifinals. This was the first time since 2007 that a representative from Philly missed out on a conference title. </p>
<p>This now creates a cluster of teams from the A-10 with aspirations of playing in the NCAA tournament.</p>
<p>Xavier and Temple should have already had their tickets punched by the selection committee prior to the start of the tournament. However with both of the front runners losing, and Richmond advancing to the final, one would think the Spiders now are going dancing. </p>
<p>That's what makes today's game all the more interesting. If Dayton ends up continuing their improbable run with a win, would the selection committee grant access to four A-10 teams? Does this mean a bubble team like Villanova would be left out in the cold? I can imagine smirks coming across the Temple fans faces right now. Their loss may have paved the way for Villanova in the NIT.</p>
<p>All hypothesizing aside, the Richmond Spiders will take on the Dayton Flyers in an exciting A-10 final in Atlantic City's historic Boardwalk Hall.</p>
<p>If I were a betting man...and I'm not, (I have been in Atlantic City for three days without placing a single bet) I would give the advantage to Richmond. The reason is simple; Dayton today will play their fourth game in six days. Richmond still is relatively fresh having had a first round bye. </p>
<p>Dayton however, has been the underdog in their three previous games as well. If college basketball has taught me anything, it's that strange things happen in March.</p>
<p>This will be an interesting match up between senior forwards Chris Wright and Justin Harper. Both have played exceptionally well this weekend. Chris Wright, in my opinion, is one of just a few NBA ready players I have seen this weekend.</p>
<p>Winner gets an automatic bid today as #9 Dayton takes on #3 Richmond in Atlantic City for the Atlantic 10 Championship.</p>

<p><b>ATLANTIC CITY, NJ</b> - Four the first time in four years the Temple Owls will not be crowned Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament champions as the Richmond Spiders were able to knock them off 58-54.</p>
<p>The Owls' poor shooting combined with timely baskets by Richmond's Kevin Anderson and Justin Harper were their undoing.</p>
<p>Anderson led all scorers with 22 points including several crucial jumpers in the game's waning moments. Harper has 18 points of his own.</p>
<p>All other Richmond players scored a combined 18 points.</p>
<p>Temple shot 35 percent from the floor (20 of 57) and all too often settled for contest three-point attempts. The Owls connected on just 28 percent from distance (7 of 25).</p>
<p>Juan Fernandez was the biggest culprit when it came to forcing bad shots. He was driving the ball and looking for contact rather than working for a better look.</p>
<p>Fernandez's final shooting numbers: seven points on 3 of 17 shooting and 1 of 7 from beyond the arc.</p>
<p>He did do some fine work setting up teammates as he dished out a career-high 10 assists. More deferrals from Fernandez would have probably gone a long way in changing the outcome of the game. The junior guard also pulled down a season-high seven rebounds.</p>
<p>Ramone Moore was another Owl who struggled shooting the ball as he collected 11 points on 4 of 12 shooting. The Philadelphia native made just 1 of his 5 three-point attempts.</p>
<p>Khalif Wyatt led the Owls with 15 points off the bench on 5 of 11 shooting but it was his attempt to draw a foul with 34 seconds remaining that nailed Temple's casket shut.</p>
<p>Instead of getting fouled, Richmond's Francis-Cedric Martel was able to steal the ball away which forced Wyatt to put him on the line intentionally. Martel made both free-throws to extend the Spiders' lead to three, 57-54, with 28 seconds to go.</p>
<p>The Owls went into halftime with a 31-30 lead which was impressive due to the fact that they were forced to battle through some serious foul trouble in the first half as Rahlir Jefferson was whistled for three infractions and Lavoy Allen two.</p>
<p>The Owls were able to hold a lead despite running a five guard offense for long periods in the game's opening 20 minutes.</p>
<p>Allen was the lone bright spot for the Owls as he extended his double-double streak to seven games with 12 points and 10 rebounds.</p>
<p>Now Temple has to play the waiting game as they will find out tomorrow night where the Selection Committee will seed them.</p>

<p>The Hawk will never die. That is the motto St. Joe’s fans live by. Although the Hawk lives on, their season does not.</p>
<p>The Hawks have been playing on borrowed time throughout the past week. With a 9-21 record coming into the A-10 Tournament, not many people could have seen this coming. Yet the Hawks knocked off the four seed George Washington and five seed Duquesne.</p>
<p>Another A-10 Cinderella, the ninth seeded <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/dayton-flyers">Dayton Flyers</a>, were also underrated coming into the tournament. After defeating top seeded Xavier yesterday, they rode the momentum into today’s game and now, into the final.</p>
<p>Dayton were paced by Chris Wright who put up an impressive double double with 17 points and 15 rebounds. Wright put on a show with his Andre Iguodala like quickness and athleticism.</p>
<p>After jumping to an early 6-2 lead, the Flyers cruised through most of the game, holding off various St. Joe’s runs. Chris Johnson led all scorers with 19 points for the Flyers.</p>
<p>St. Joe’s went on a 5-0 run late in the second half making the fans from nearby Philadelphia rise to their feet. It was unfortunately too little too late.</p>
<p>St. Joe’s can hold their heads high. After a dismal regular season their young group finally put it together. The future looks bright for the Hawks as they return the majority of their squad next year.</p>
<p>The reigning <span class="caps">NIT</span> Champion Dayton Flyers will now take on the winner of the Temple/Richmond game in the A-10 final tomorrow at 1pm.</p>

<div class="commentable-body">
<p>The quarterfinals of the A-10 tournament started with two upsets, but the final two games went as as expect as Dayton, St. Joe’s, Temple & Richmond all advanced to the semifinals.</p>
<p>Dayton probably took the toughest road to the semis having to go through the tournament’s #1 seed, Xavier. However, in this round they’ll be taking on the tournament’s lowest seed in St. Joe’s. The Hawks barely qualified for the tournament as the #12 seed, but now that they’re here Phil Martelli has his young Hawks playing well with two upsets already under their belt. Dayton beat St. Joes 65-59 back on January 12th.</p>
<p>Temple faces Richmond in the other semifinal in a matchup of the #2 and # seeds in the tournament. The Owls are looking to win their fourth straight conference tournament and 11th A-10 tourney game in a row. Richmond will be looking to shore up their credentials for the big dance with a win over a top 25 team. The Owls beat the Spiders by twenty when they last met in mid February.</p>

<p>When Nucky Thompson (Enuch Johnson) built Boardwalk Hall with his bare hands, (Also incorrect) I'm sure he envisioned a day like today. (This statement has no historical accuracy whatsoever. My knowledge of the "Prohibition Era" consists of episodes of <i>Boardwalk Empire</i>.) The Atlantic-10 tournament arrived at this historic hall and did not disappoint.</p>
<p>With all three Philadelphia teams advancing to the second round, this had the makings of a possible Big Five showdown in the final. Although, for this to happen there would need to be upsets. And this Friday, upsets set the tone.</p>
<p>Xavier the top seed in the A-10 were caught off guard early by the Flyers of Dayton who took a nine point lead into the half. Xavier improved their play in the second half, but not enough as they were downed to 9<sup>th</sup> seed Dayton 68-67. </p>
<p>The key to Dayton's victory came on the glass. Dayton out rebounded the bigger Xavier 32-24. This was puzzling to me considering the size of Xavier forward Kenny Frease. As big as he looks on TV...he looks bigger in person. He is listed at 7'0" and 269 lbs, but with a neck he might pass for 7'2".</p>
<p>Junior forward Luke Fabrizius ended up being the hero for the Flyers as he buried two free throws with six seconds remaining to give Dayton a one point lead. And that is how it ended. </p>
<p>Continuing with the upset trend that dominated the early going of this tournament, 12 seeded St. Joe's knocked off #4 Duquesne 93-90. </p>
<p>Within the first five minutes I was calling my wife and asking her to schedule a chiropractor appointment for me. The two teams combined for 10 turnovers during that stretch.</p>
<p>The game settled into a back and forth battle for the remainder of the game. St. Joe's had nothing to lose and played like it. Every Duquesne run was met with an off-balance, shot-clock beating basket by St. Joes. </p>
<p>In the win head coach Phil Martelli recorded his 300<sup>th</sup> career victory.</p>
<p>The upset wagon then headed out of Boardwalk Hall for the evening as cross town rivals Temple and La Salle took the court. Temple jumped out to an early lead and did not look back as they went on to win 96-76. It was one of Temple's best offensive showings of the year as five players scored in double figures.</p>
<p>I have not hid my devotion to Temple basketball very well. I am supposed to remain impartial, however I am a fan of the Owls. Understand...my brother played for Fran Dunphy at U Penn and Ramone Moore is the starting two guard on my summer league team. If I wasn't partial to them I'd be turning my back on family...and the Unum summer league team of the Delco Pro Am.</p>
<p>The final game of the evening was a gritty affair. I'm not sure if it was because of the late start, or the distance both teams traveled, but the players from Richmond and Rhode Island were MAAAAAD.</p>
<p>Between players yelling at the refs, coaches yelling at the refs, refs yelling at the coaches, players yelling at the coaches, players yelling at the opponents, players yelling at each other and players yelling at me, (kidding) I was sure the angry looking security officer with the mustache may be needed to breakup a scrum.</p>
<p>This game was a sloppy, hard nosed affair that saw the Spiders of Richmond advance to the semi finals with a 55-45 victory. Senior guard Kevin Anderson led the Spiders with 21 points.</p>
<p>Tomorrow St. Joe's plays Dayton and Temple will take on Richmond. Philadelphia has a chance to send two teams into the A-10 final for the first time since 2008.</p>

<p><b>ATLANTIC CITY, NJ</b> - It was close for a while and then it wasn't. Then it kind of was. And then Temple blew the Explorers out of Boardwalk Hall.</p>
<p>The Owls advanced to the semi-finals of the Atlantic 10 tournament four the fourth consecutive year after a 96-76 victory over the upset minded Explorers on Friday night.</p>
<p>The win was Temple's 10th consecutive A10 tournament triumph. They have not lost a game in Atlantic City since 2007 when they were bounced by St. Joseph's in the first round.</p>
<p>The Owls had five double-digit scorers led by Ramone Moore's game-high 23 points. The junior guard went 9 of 14 from the floor and also pulled down four board and dished out three assists.</p>
<p>As has become the norm, Lavoy Allen collected his 11th double-double of the year with 14 points and 12 rebounds. His double-double streak is now at six games.</p>
<p>The first team All-Conference selection also had a game-high six assists to go along with four steals and three blocks.</p>
<p>Khalif Wyatt (20 points on 7 of 12 shooting), Juan Fernandez (19 points on 6 of 13 shooting) and Aaron Brown (14 points on 5 of 11 shooting) rounded out Temple's double-digit scorers.</p>
<p>As a team, the Owls shot 52.2 percent (35 of 67) overall and 52.6 percent (10 of 19) from distance. They also connected on 16 of 18 free throws.</p>
<p>The Cherry and White had to shoot the lights out as, in almost a replay of their game last Saturday, the Explorers had little problem scoring the ball. La Salle shot 53.8 percent (31 of 58) from the floor and 50 percent (8 of 16) from beyond the arc.</p>
<p>Sophomore Aaric Murray led the Explorers with 22 points and 11 rebounds.</p>
<p>Turnovers proved to be their undoing as La Salle committed 22 miscues to Temple's six.</p>
<p>La Salle kept the game interesting for a while they held a 17-16 lead with just under twelve minutes to go in the first half. A Wyatt jumper ignited a 17-5 run that turned the deficit into a 33-22 lead. From there the Owls held La Salle at bay as they never led by less than nine points for the rest of the opening stanza.</p>
<p>Senior Ruben Guillandeaux cut Temple's lead to six, 51-45, in the second half after a three-pointer with 14:55 remaining. Temple answered with a 10-0 run that Moore started and capped with a three-pointer and a layup respectively.</p>
<p>That run signaled the beginning of the end for the Explorers as Temple extended its lead to as many as 23 points.</p>
<p>Temple will face the winner of Friday night's final quarterfinal matchup between Richmond and Rhode Island. The Owls are the highest seed left standing and the odds on favorite for the four-peat.</p>

<p>St. Joseph’s surprise A-10 tournament run continued today with a 93-90 overtime win over #4 seeded Duquesne. The Hawks now advance to the semifinals to face Dayton, who upset the #1 seeded Xavier earlier today.</p>
<p>St. Joe’s led by as many as 11 and held a three point lead inside of two minutes, but Duquesne fought back to take a lead with less than a minute left. With 22 seconds left Sean Johnson hit two free throws to give the Flyers a two point lead, but St. Joe forward Ronald Roberts would get free for a game tying dunk with 4 seconds left to send the game into overtime.</p>
<p>St Joe’s would build a six point lead in overtime, but once again Duquesne fought back… but this time they would only close the gap to 1 as Phil Martelli’s young Hawks squad claimed their second straight upset.</p>
<p>Sophomore guard <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/99772/carl-jones">Carl Jones</a> led the Hawks with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

<p>St. Joe’s next faces Dayton in the semifinals tomorrow at 1 pm.</p>
