Vote up the Atlantic 10 schools with the historically best basketball team.

Even the best Atlantic 10 basketball programs have produced just one national championship. However, the Atlantic 10 conference has produced a number of players who went on to win NBA championships. 

Some of the best NBA players of all time like Julius Erving, Lamar Odom and Bob Lanier started their path on Atlantic 10 basketball teams. Meanwhile, arguably one of the best players in the NBA right now, Stephen Curry is a former member of the Davidson Wildcats. 

Even with all that talent, the top college basketball programs in the Atlantic 10 have managed just a few Final Four appearances to go with the single NCAA Tournament title for the La Salle Explorers. 

But which stands out above the rest? With all that history of NBA talent, it's up to you to decide which school rises to the top of the list of Atlantic 10 basketball prgrams.
