College HoopsCast 3/3 -- Mad start to March

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

Today: As the calendar turns to March and local teams' margins for error become ever smaller, Jonathan is joined by Mike Jensen. They discuss a range of topics, including:

-- The impact of Sunday night's Temple-St. Joseph's game on local NCAA Tournament hopes

-- The vital numbers for St. Joe's, Villanova and Temple: do any of them have strong enough resumés to make the Big Dance?

-- Whether the Atlantic 10's weighted conference schedules will result in the conference only getting one team into the NCAA Tournament

-- Who should win Atlantic 10 Player of the Year and Coach of the Year, and whether anyone deserves Big 5 Player of the Year

-- Cornell's Ivy League title, and Penn senior Brian Grandieri's final games at the Palestra this coming weekend

-- And a rundown of all this week's big local and national games, including Stanford at UCLA on Thursday and North Carolina at Duke on Saturday.
