Trivia

Although Tournament champions and overall season champions are awarded separately, in the 1989-90 season the Temple Owls won both.

The Atlantic 10 Conference tournament finals have only ever been won by a margin of two points one other time, when the Saint Louis Billikens beat the St. Bonaventure Bonnies in 2019.
