yes for an at large bid

How so? We have plenty of meaningful games left on our schedule. We are still doing fine. Outside of the game today, the team has looked very good this season. An at large is definitely not out of the question at this point.

Blown out! It is almost as if the team spent all night Saturday and all day Sunday...on Twitter. It just doesn't make sense. Just like the announcer said, way too much one one one and only 5 assists for the game...at the time he said it.

It's a 12 point game. At least the team hasn't given up like some of the fans have.

Got to win the games you are favored in and the games you deserve to win.

I was counting down the minutes til you made this comment.

At the end of the season , UAB RPI wont be below 35 with those 2 lost in this tournament
Just plain math

Temple is a good team. I think the linesmaker saw Frazier's performance and overestimated how good we were. I would have never made us a 5 point favorite.

Something to think about--we'll have had a player break 30pts 3 games in a row. That can be a good or bad thing. For this particular team, I don't think it's good. We thrive when we have points distributed among the starters. Coach will figure it out and we'll get things back going at Bartow.

Glad I didn't disappoint, *******.

We are fighting hard, but shots haven't been falling for us.

Hopefully we can make it closer towards the end.

I just do not believe Coach Haase had the team prepared for this game and I do not the team was focused enough, either. I believe that the players came in "WAY TOO CONFIDENT" and expecting to waltz their way to a win.

our fan base cracks me up

I wish. We could use him.

All I know is Chad Frazier is clearly top player in country haha

we should be a double digit underdog to UNC at home. Im interested to see how Watts did as far as Blazer Metrics go for today.

Boy, Temple is Looooong under the basket. They have blocked a lot of shots in the paint.

Temple has won 24, 24, 26, 29, 22, and 21 games over the past six years. How some of you thought we would waltz our way to victory is beyond me. They are a good team and totally dominated our big guys. Gorilla is right that the team and the fans came in way too confident that this would be a blowout in our favor.

This is still a team learning how to play together. Games like this, not 30 point individual performances will make us stronger and a better team by conference time. For those of you who think our tournament chances are over now because of one game in November, shut up and go look at some tournament history and learn something.

So true.

Well, that wasn't pretty. I for will put this loss behind us and look forward to the next game. I was impressed with how we rebounded Friday after the disappointing loss in Thursday's game. And that was a competitive game.

This game wasn't competitive. How you bounce back from a 20-point blowout is just as important as how you rebound from a hard-fought loss that shouldn't have been.
