Interesting report from Ray Floriani over at College Chalktalk examining the playing styles of Atlantic 10 teams. In the article, Floriani takes a look at whether teams are perimeter or paint oriented.
Here’s what he says about Fordham:
The numbers out of Rose Hill are hardly shocking. Fordham was guard oriented and played catch-up the second half on many a night. That translates into a lot of attempts from long range.

The official Atlantic 10 Conference logo from atlantic10.com.
Proving once again to be one of the most competitive conferences in the nation, the Atlantic 10 will send three teams to the NCAA Tournament when play gets underway Thursday afternoon all across the country. Temple, who won the Atlantic 10 tournament Saturday night with a win over Duquesne, will be joined by Xavier and Dayton, after it was announced Sunday that the Muskateers and Flyers had received at-large bids to the tournament.
Temple is a No. 11 seed in the South bracket, with an opening round game in Miami on Friday (2:45) against six-seed Arizona State. Xavier, who won the Atlantic 10 regular season title, is seeded fourth in the East. The Muskateers open against 13-seed Portland State on Thursday (7:25) in Boise. And Dayton, seeded 11th in the Midwest, will open against West Virginia, seeded sixth, on Friday (3:00) in Minneapolis.
More good news came the Atlantic 10′s way Sunday night when it was announced that Duquesne and Rhode Island were named to the 32-team National Invitation Tournament. In addition, Richmond was named to the 16-team College Basketball Invitational. Rhode Island will play at Niagara tonight (7:00), while Duquesne visits Virginia Tech tomorrow (7:00). Richmond hosts St. John’s tomorrow night (7:00).
For those keeping score at home, that’s six Atlantic 10 basketball teams playing in national tournaments.
I’ll be back tomorrow with tournament predictions.

The Atlantic 10 announced today that Fordham guard Alberto Estwick has been named the conference’s Co-Rookie of the Week. Dayton’s Chris Johnson also received the honor. This marks the fourth time this season that a Ram has won the weekly award. Trey Blue was named Rookie of the Week back in November, while Jio Fontan picked up the award twice in December, once sharing it with Duquesne’s Eric Evans. Estwick and Fontan were teammates at St. Anthony’s High School in Jersey City where they played for legendary head coach Bob Hurley.
Estwick averaged 18.5 points in Fordham’s losses to Xavier and Dayton this past week, shooting 12-of-20 from the field and 9-of-16 from three-point range. Estwick scored a season-high 20 points in Fordham’s loss to nationally ranked Xavier last Sunday, and had a team-high 17 points in last Wednesday’s one-point loss at Dayton. For the season, Estwick is averaging 6.7 points, but has come on strong of late and is quickly emerging as a go-to-guy for the Rams offensively.
