Not counting Villanova as part of Philly?

Yea, technically it is not within Philadelphia's boundaries

With all the places throughout the San Francisco-Oakland area that the Warriors have played, might there be some credit given since Stanford and San Francisco University have won NCAA championships?

To add to the above comment, the Warriors were based in San Francisco when they won their title. The two home games they won in the finals in 1975 were played in SF, which should be enough to qualify San Francisco.

Not counting Villanova as Philadelphia would be like not counting the Pistons as part of Detroit.

The Bullets played in Landover, MD when they won their title. Which is closer to College Park, MD ('02 Maryland) than to DC ('85 Georgetown)

The Warriors were based in Oakland during the seasons they won the title. So they shouldn't qualify for San Francisco.

It doesn't matter where the Bullets played because their team was named Washington Bullets. This doesn't work in the case of the Warriors because they were named the ambiguous Golden State.

I don't like your logic that it doesn't matter where the team played because of the name of the team. By that logic, teams named after states rather than after cities (Pacers, Jazz, Nets, Timberwolves)could theoretically never qualify for this list.

What about Houston Rockets and Houston Cougars? Unless Houston isn't in Houston... like how Oakland University isn't in Oakland, California, something i learned during this year's NCAA tourney...

@the_DR, that's because the Houston Cougars never won the title moron.

Nova does play several games a year at Wells Fargo Arena. Before that, they'd play a few in the Spectrum, including the '85 title season. I'd think they're as much Philly as some of the pro teams that play in the suburbs, like the Bullets.

Villanova should count as Philly. Plain and simple
