Temple got embarrassed by lville. They will be fired up fo us. We cannot overlook them.
Peace out

As I posted in another thread, I'm more concerned about this game than I was about Rutgers. I have no idea what kind of crowd they will have but normally that's a tough building. Plus, they can shoot the three, which we've had trouble defending at times.

I am usually wrong but I was much more worried about Rutgers than Temple. Long way from home, lots of snow, day delay, and hostile crowd. Now they have shown they can play with those factors and hopefully will perform well tomorrow.

After USF they're all trap games.

Plus Rutgers is far deeper than Temple.

But Temple has proven they can stay in games when they heat up from 3

Temple is awful. Start Wilfong. He'll score thirty and we'll win by twenty.

"Remember USF". Temple is bad, but you don't take anyone lightly. Ball out, bros!

Please do not take my statement as meaning we will walk over Temple. Still worried as always, but just a little more confident.

Temple's starting lineup is not bad at all. If they had any bench they'd be a different team. Very similar to us last year. Taking them lightly is foolish, especially in their building.

Sometimes you play bad teams. They aren't all "trap" games.

Agree. And this one isn't a trap game because we don't have a huge game immediately following.
