The Atlantic 10 Conference Men’s Basketball Tournament is being held at Capital One Arena this week. In the first game of the week, La Salle defeated Saint Joseph’s 63-56. The headliners for the tournament are Davidson, Dayton, Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU), and St. Bonaventure. Local teams George Washington and George Mason are also participating as the 7th and 9th seeds respectively.
As it pertains to the Wizards, there are several NBA prospects playing this week. Davidson wing Hyunjung Lee, VCU wing Vince Williams, Richmond forward Tyler Burton, Dayton forward DaRon Holmes, and Saint Joseph’s point forward Jordan Hall are probably the most prominent names among NBA Draft analysts.
