Temple a huge game

Postby ponyte » Sun Jan 01, 2017 11:57 am

From my point of view, this is a huge game. First, they had a magic unicorn night against us last year to stop our win streak. Its about payback.

Second, our first conference home game. We need Moody Magic more than ever.

Go Mustangs, Beat the Owls!

Agreed. We also have a tough 5 game stretch (including @Cincy, UH, @UCF) coming up after this two game home stand.

Temple can be really good as they were in wins over #20 FSU and #11 WV, and they can be really bad as they were in losses to UCF and NH. Who knows what team we will get Wednesday.

Agreed. The scary frustrating part of Temple. We need to get going early. Maybe the road and two game losing streak in conference will wear on them.

We need to jump on them from the tip. I think our D is as aggressive as Cincy's and can be the difference maker at home. Make then force shots late in the clock and value our offensive possessions. WE can't let them hang around. Big game!!

Wish the students were back - but hopefully the Texas kids will show up.

UCF does not have a horrible team.

I wonder when the last time UCF started conference play 3-0?
