By JOSH VERLIN Philahoops Staff Twitter: @jmverlin There were only two Temple players who were around the last time the team lost to Saint Joseph’s, back on Jan. 26, 2008.

By TIM MORGAN Philahoops Staff Twitter: @zcaptain36 The Atlantic 10 Conference is wide open right now. Any team can jump out and take the lead. Saint Joseph’s (13-8, 3-3 A-10) is one of 11 league teams, out of 14, at .500 or better and no A-10 squad has a record of better than 4-2. It’s [...]
By JOSH VERLIN Philahoops Staff Twitter: @jmverlin Despite the national attention given to Colonial Athletic schools George Mason and Virginia Commonwealth due to their respective Final Four runs, neither GMU nor VCU is the biggest name on the schedule for the Drexel Dragons.
