Its conference tournament time! The Atlantic 10 kicks off this year's tournament with first-round matchups beginning on Tuesday night as seeds five through 12 are in action. Saint Joseph's travels to Rhode Island to face the Rams, UMass meets Charlotte at Halton Arena in the Queen City, George Washington takes its game to UD Arena to face the Flyers, and Duquesne travels to St. Bonaventure to duel with Mark Schmidt's club. Then the scene shifts to Atlantic City for the quarterfinals, semifinals and final, where top-seeded Temple awaits, along with Xavier, Richmond and Saint Louis. The Owls will meet the SBU/DU winner, Xavier readies for the DAY/GW victor, Richmond prepares for either Charlotte or UMass, and Saint Louis will meet the URI/SJU winner. Vern Lundquist will announce the final, televised nationally on CBS on Selection Sunday.
