Well, the first game is in the books...
16 Fairleigh Dickinson (21-13) 82
16 Prairie View A&M (22-13) 76
Can Fran The Man pull off the win next? Hope so for Temple...
I’d like for Temple to win for the conference’s sake, but I think Belmont will. I think the winner will beat Maryland on Thursday.
I'm rooting for Temple, but it isn't easy.
Curious to see how Temple does.
How does the #4 finishing AAC team measure up?
Is Belmont really as good as the talking heads say?
Is Fran Dunphy breathing?
Does Fran Dunphy go down as the greatest coach never to make a sweet 16? Or am I drawing a blank on someone else?

Eh... "Sweet 16's" are for fans.
Temple is trash away from home.

I see what you did there.
Thought Temple was fading but they've pulled within 3.
The Owls are more athletic but Belmont has better shooters.
: temple insisting on playing muszunski straight up in the post has been a disaster. If he catches it deep he's scoring.

Temple going down.
Belmont shoots well and plays disciplined.

They are a very good team that can beat you a lot of ways. They are good at attacking the basket and have guys that can score in the post in addition to having shooters
Well, we sure as hell can never count on Temple to do anything OOC (both sports). I just hope for once an AAC team can break through this year.
Temple looked really talented. But they take bad shots, play lazy D, make dumb mistakes. Really poor performance.

lol aaaand the first Mick/tourney failure salvo is fired...and we haven't even played yet
Just another horse**** game in the NCAA's by a member of the AAC, look at the last three games played by members, no wonder we are not thought of as big time.

The last three games are Houston losing on a miracle shot to the NCAA runner up, the game we shall not speak of and a NIT caliber temple team losing to a better team.
Hopefully the next 3 go better.

Zero discipline in that program. That is what kills them. They have the talent an athleticism but absolutely nothing else. You can tell Dunphy has totally checked out and has been that way for a good while now.
