A10: Temple Beats St. Joe's To Go Dancing

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Temple opened the second half on a 15-2 run and never looked back, beating Saint Joseph's 69-64 to win the Atlantic 10 Tournament and earn its first NCAA bid since the Elite 8 team in 2001.

Dionte Christmas scored 22 points to lead the Owls, who also got 15 from Chris Clark. Ahmad Nivins had 18 for the Hawks, who are 21-12 and must now wait until tomorrow night to see if they earn an NCAA bid.
