A10: Saint Joseph's Up 7 At Half
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Saint Joseph's jumped out to a 15-5 lead and has never trailed, leading Temple at halftime of the Atlantic 10 Tournament final, 32-25. The Owls are shooting just 7-for-26 (26 percent) but have stayed in it hitting half of their 10 three-point attempts.
Ahmad Nivins has 12 points and 5 rebounds for the Hawks. Dionte Christmas is 3-for-5 on three-pointers and has 12 for Temple. Mark Tyndale is 0-for-5 from the field and has just 3 points. Temple's turned it over 8 times to 4 for Saint Joseph's.
Darrin Govens is 4-of-8 from the field for 9 for St. Joe's.
Saint Bonaventure, who didn't make the Atlantic 10 tournament, had two students absolutely dominate the 2-ball NBA Jam-esque hot spot shootout championship and won $10,000. The team from Bonaventure was pretty much the only one that could actually shoot!
