Temple should win, but they are wildly inconsistent.

Really liking the favorites today. $$$

LOL mid-majors conference.

Temple and UCONN fans don’t care. SMU fans have disappeared. Everyone else is just hoping pesik doesn’t notice the topic.

I don't believe he's expected to play. I don't expect him back until the tourney if at all. Right now their only hope at a bid is winning the auto bid so no sense rushing him.

They should. But multiple Temple fans have already said they’d rather miss the tournament than make it.

i guess they don't want their coach either

I'm too nervous, hoping it's not another road game Coog It.

Tommorows thread will be a hot topic what with WS playing their first game at UCF.

Nope. Still out. We are 1-6 without Shake and Jarrey Foster. 2-7 without Jarrey Foster. Hard to win without your top 2 players who are both future NBA guys. Not even mentioning Emelogu playing hurt since UConn and Chargois since UH. It is that year where everything that can go wrong will go wrong.

Just getting young guys starters minutes/experience now for next season when we need them to contribute off the bench.

I'm seriously disappointed we didn't get to see Morris vs Fall this year ..

It's a road game at Moody. I'm nervous as hell.

I get it now about Fran.

The commentators asked Dunphy about the difference between good Temple and bad Temple and he said it mostly came down to seeing the ball go through the net and that not hitting shots leads to less effort on defense or some such BS. What a terrible attitude from a coach! As a coach you have to demand consistent effort regardless of how its going on the other end of the floor.

I understand failing to get your team “up” for a game against Tulane in the middle of the season. But how the hell do you not get your team “up” for UCONN at the end of the season with an NCAA bid on the line?

Any idiot can hope for shots to go in. If that is all it takes, I'm available for any opening a D-1 school has. I can hope as hard as the best of them.
