Temple moves a step closer to NCAAs

 

So lightning can't strike twice? Tell that to Temple, which I just witnessed upset the top seed in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, No. 19 Xavier, to move one victory away from becoming the conference's first-back-to-back champs since 2001. It was the Owls that did it that year, too, and if they beat the winner of the Duquesne-Dayton game (which started moments ago), Fran Dunphy and Co. will notch their second conference auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament in as many years.

That would be great news for the A-10's postseason representation, too, since Xavier has the profile for an at-large bid.

More on this after the postgame press conferences.
