2013 Atlantic 10 Tournament at the Barclays Center

Despite a terrific effort from Saint Joseph’s in a 58-57 win over rival Xavier last night, the one thing that stood out most was the impressive arena that hosted the game. The Barclays Center, known best as the home court of the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets, lived up to the hype that surrounds the new $1 billion stadium. World-class food and amenities were just a small part of what created an unforgettable atmosphere for the hard-fought basketball game. Fans from all schools across the Atlantic 10 conference gathered to cheer on their teams and watch some great basketball. Among the main tournament sponsors are Buick, Reese’s and Applebee’s. Good luck to our Hawks as they move further on toward the championship.
