 Richmond
Wins 2011 Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball ChampionshipATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - Kevin Anderson (6'0''-G-88) capped a tournament MVP performance with 23 points and Richmond finished the job this season, winning its first Atlantic 10 title with a 67-54 victory over Dayton on Sunday. Justin Harper (6'10''-F-89) added 18 points as the third-seeded Spiders (27-7) won their seventh straight game and earned consecutive NCAA tournament berths for the first time in school history. It also gave them a feeling much different than a year ago when they lost the title game to Temple in a heartbreaker, giving the Owls their third straight championship in this casino resort. The Spiders brought down the boardwalk empire on Saturday with a 58-54 win over Temple. They all but ended ninth-seeded Dayton's hopes for an NCAA bid. Despite upsetting top-seeded Xavier in the quarterfinals, the defending NIT champion Flyers (22-13) probably needed to win the tournament to get in the NCAA field.
