ATLANTIC 10 TOURNAMENT
ATLANTIC CITY – There is something different about this Temple Owls team. Sure, a lot of the faces are the same from the teams that won back-to-back Atlantic-10 Tournament championships. But those teams made first round NCAA tournament exits.
This one is determined not to meet that same fate. You could tell just from its 69-51 victory at Boardwalk Hall Friday afternoon, even if the opponent was an overmatched St. Bonaventure squad.
"We're just thinking about us," said sophomore guard Juan Fernandez who finished with a game-high 17 points. "I think things are a lot different this year than they were last. We have a lot of weapons this year and I think that's the reason we got the first place this year."
