This is a new position for Temple, coming into the Atlantic 10 Tournament as the No. 1 seed. In the two previous years Temple was an underdog to regular-season champion Xavier, yet managed to take home the crown and the coveted automatic bid into the NCAA national championship. Looking for the three-peat, Temple has been consistent all year, including a big non-conference win over Villanova and has been ranked in the AP Top 25 for most of the year (No. 17 in the most recent poll). Fran Dunphy’s team concept has worked very well without a major star in his line-up.

Last night most of the contestants stepped it up, with the usual top prospects remaining at the top, namely, “funny little” Siobhan Magnus with a fabulous rendition of “Paint It Black” that really found the emotion in the song, and MamaSox Crystal B., who had a lot of fun with “You Can’t Always Get What [...]
