Maybe. But Temple and Nova play every year as it is, and it's not on national TV every year.

Not really our fault.

Didn't say it was. It was just the notion that it was a "guaranteed" national TV game. While there are a few gams you can pencil in for national TV every year, I think only UConn/Syracuse meets the criteria of "guaranteed." And they will be going separate ways.

TU/VU would be, if Nova didn't play in an arena worse than my high school's.

Nova plays their major games at Wells Fargo Center. All of the games Louisville's ah played against them were there. Also with their attendance being nearly 10% higher than Temple's, in their worst attendance year in a while compared to one of your best (the difference was 77% in 2010) , not sure you want to knock another team's arena.

The last time we played them, it was at their mini tent of an arena. They allotted like 50 tix to Temple fans. They're well known for inflating their attendance significantly, but we would draw very well playing a BE schedule in the WFC. The last time we played there against Duke, there were 20,420 people there, which was far more than any game Nova played there all season.

You should not talk about other's attendance
Temple attendance
2012 8165
2011 5925
2010 6376
2009 5933

Villanova
2012 8923
2011 10,511
2010 10936
2009 9404

In some of these years, Temple's attendance is lower than DePaul, Seton Hall, Providence, and in your city even St. Joes, and teams like Charlotte, Old Dominion, VCU, George Mason, Nevada, Siena, Butler, Illinois St, etc. And you have the nerve to talk about another school who wildly outdraws you?

C'mon dude, you know better than that. I'm happy to see Temple back, and will be pulling for you guys to do well, but you know as well as me that Nova owns Philly when it comes to hoops. You guys didn't sell out at the Lianacouris (sp?) the past couple of years when you had a highly ranked Tennesee and a highly ranked Georgetown come to your place,nor did you sell our against any A10 team. Nova sells out every game on campus (6500) and normally gets in the vicinity of 20K plus when playing 6 BE games at the Wells Fargo Center. Last year was an aberation with Nova being so terrible, and you really can't cherry pick the one Duke game when the reality is Duke is as good a draw as any team in the country. Temple rarely plays at the Wells Fargo because they can't sell it out, while Nova plays and gets 20 plus regularly. Like I said before, welcome aboard, we're glad to have you, but I'm gonna have an old conference mates back ,if you start talking trash about them, especially if it isn't true.

You're overreacting because I said Nova's arena is a dump, which is a fact. I'm willing to bet you've never been to the Ski Lodge. Nerve?

not overreacting. You are deflecting the topic because your point is looking really moot. They play "ig games in WF. Why they don't play you there, or you don't play them there, well you can tell me that. And no I have never been there because when they play Louisville, it was at the arena downtown.

You don't want to make that bet, trust me. I've been there for games then ate at Gullifty's afterward. Even been to Sang Kee's in your neck of the woods. Still want to bet?

That's what I thought.

Cameron Indoor is as run down as any place in America. Guess who gets more national TV games than any other school? Your logic makes no sense.
