Temple wants 3rd straight A-10 title
PHILADELPHIA - Temple is on a mission to make it an A-10 title sweep.
The Owls are the top seed in the Atlantic 10 tournament and want to win the championship to go along with their regular season title. Temple has every reason to be considered the favorite. Coach Fran Dunphy's Owls have won the last two tourney titles.
Unlike the last two seasons when the Owls needed the championship to make the NCAA tournament, this year's team was assured weeks ago of finding a line on the bracket when the field is announced.
The Owls have enjoyed their best season in nearly a decade. They cracked the Top 25 for the first time since 2001 and beat a top-5 team in Villanova for the first time since 2000.
Temple also won the city series title.
