But then I read their message board

So, F them.

uh oh... really? link?

Google temple basketball message board. The cherry and white one.

About how we just cheat and got too good too fast to be legit. F the Owls. And F Tulsa too if they can't get on board. Just win , baby.

temple does not produce a bunch of rocket scientist. What do you expect from their fan base - after all it is made up of their alumni?

Fair comment.

I was told that the reason Temple did not get in is because Wyoming won the MWC tournament.

They got 100% jobbed. They will get over it, and we are better than them. Remember, success breeds contempt. They are filled with contempt. Guess we are successful!

Enjoy it folks! We are king of the hill for a change! The Best team in the conference with a 27-6 record and going to the NCAA tournament! Let them say what they want! We beat their butts and took the grand prize!

Well, if we do feel bad the thing to do is to beat UCLA since they were given Temples spot.

Can't hear what they're saying. Too busy celebrating a regular season and tournament championship.

Not sure why people think Temple should be in the tourney. They beat KU who was down a key player early in the season- and that's about it. We beat them handily each time and I watched them play at Tulsa and they looked horrible. If the committee saw that game I can see why they were left out.
The AAC was down this year. Hopefully UCONN and Temple can improve and join SMU and UC in the tourney next year. We should be a 4 bid league. Memphis needs to get its act together which they will after Pastner leaves.

Not to be too picky but Temple beat KU which is something the Whorns can't claim. And the Whorns are in despite a 8-10 conference record. UConn has a better conference record with a similar overall record. Strange, they aren't in. And UConn went deeper in the conference tourney. And Temple had a better record than UConn with a win over a team that own the Whorns. I just don't think Temple got a fair evaluation.

Agreed

UConn fans booing us and chanting "overrated" - it does not get any better than this. Oh, wait, yes it does, a NCAA championship!

Keep rolling Stangs!

Temple is in Philadelphia...I would be mad, too.
