Bob Ford wrote an interesting piece today previewing the Atlantic 10 Tournament for the three Philly schools involved. Temple, St. Joe's & La Salle. He found that this is the first time since 1983-84 season that all three schools have won at least 18 games.

The last time these three schools all had 18 or more wins in a season, St. Joe's coach Phil Martelli was head coach at Bishop Kenrick High School, Dunphy was an assistant at American University, and La Salle coach John Giannini was a senior forward at North Central College in Illinois..
