Certainly hope we can keep the intensity.
They have played some good teams (Cinn) close but I think Moody Magic wins out.

not to jump ahead, but we couldn't ask for a better setup this week. On Thursday night, Cincy has Uconn at home in a big game. They will have a hard time not having a small letdown two nights later on the road.

Hopefully Moreira will be ready. Get him a lil game experience before Cincinnati.

btw, Temple has made the NCAA tourney six straight years. It's the 8th longest streak in the country. I'm really surprised by how down they are this year.

that will be huge if the big man is available for Cinn. Cannen has been serviceable but just too soft at times and stupid passes.

Similar to us last year, Temple has only 7 or 8 scholarship players available (can't remember the exact number). Their MO is that they have talent but they aren't deep enough and so they fade late.

With L'ville leaving and new schools on the way, need for Temple to get back to good ASAP.

That would be nice, we only lose Rutgers and UL. Perhaps Tulsa can come back but still a decent conference, better than CUSA w/ Memphis, UConn, and Cinn.

Cusa next year will be probably the weakest conference in every sport. Southern miss basketball is just about the only decent program left

CMF, what kind of recruiting class do they have coming in to them?

Temple has one commit for next year, a 4 star PF with a solid offer list, including Indiana, Maryland, umass, xavier, Miami, notre dame

Guys like Hoop will know more about their kids, but I just know other than DeCousey they've sucked bad on the recruiting front. They aren't getting out of the bottom 1/3 any time soon. 2013 was strike 1 and 2014 is looking like strike 2.
