College HoopsCast 2/26 -- Villanova's NCAA dreams dashed

Philly.com's Jonathan Tannenwald talks with Inquirer college basketball writers about the latest news in local and national college basketball.

Today: Jonathan is joined by Joe Juliano. They discuss a range of topics, including:

-- How Villanova's loss to Marquette derailed their NCAA Tournament hopes

-- La Salle's four-game win streak and how it has thrown the Atlantic 10 into chaos

-- Whether the Atlantic 10's strategy of weighting conference schedules relative to how good the teams are is backfiring. Richmond, Temple and La Salle are in contention for byes, while Dayton and Rhode Island have played themselves out of NCAA Tournament contention

-- What St. Joe's and Temple need to do to make the postseason ahead of their big showdown at the Palestra on Sunday night

-- Who should be ranked No. 1 in the nation after Tennessee's win at Memphis

-- And a rundown of all this week's big local and national games.
