We didn't play well and Temple was unconscious from 3 point land. I have not seen that kinda of shooting from a team like that ever.
I hate we lost but have a week to rest and get our heads right. Still can win a championship and still can impress recruits.

So der how far we drop, we should only drop to like 11 or 12 but wouldn't be surprised if we drop to like 20.

Fans storming the court?-what fans-no one was there but a few souls. Shake has lost his touch and it is hurting us and Nic and Kennedy not shooting well spelled our doom. I am sure the weather and stress from it had to affect us. Kudos to Temple for hitting 3s and it was the only reason they won this. Was it flukish-of course.

I know a LOT of TCU fans who look at 18-1 and drool.

Love this team, but poor 3-point defense all year, finally bit us in the butt.

I hate to lose but losing to a good coach like Fran, who has a history as long as LB is a whole lot better than losing to anyone else.

If we were to have lost the first one to Memphis at home - it would have made me sick. Though tough to take, I can take this.

Congrats to Temple, they hit everything from three. Sometimes that happens.
We have just lost too many players. Frosh playing big minutes will run out of gas as the season goes along. It usually happens. Shake is going to be great, but he and Nic have played almost every minute of every game.
Don't underrate the impact that hard screen had on the outcome. Nic wasn't able to step up at the end of the game. That screen really hurt. I love the heart shown by Ben and Brown as they tried to put the team on their backs in the second half.
The inside out game wasn't there today. They weren't doubling down low and leaving us open for free, and we missed a lot of bunnies early that would have been a big difference. Temple did a great job exploiting that in the first half by hitting some huge threes in transition after misses down low. We also gave them 5 easy baskets on horrible turnovers (another indication of an exhausted team).
The only change I would make from here on out is to start giving Foster some good minutes as part of the rotation, and get Wilfong a few minutes in the first half to spell Shake and Nic. I think we can still win conference with 4 losses. We need to spell players now and get their legs back in order to give us a shot.
UConn still as @Memphis, @Temple, SMU, @SMU, @Cincy. They will end up with 3 more losses out of those, for a total of 5.
Cincy has @ UConn, @Memphis, UConn, SMU, and will lose at least 2 of those, giving them 5 losses.
Temple actually just has UConn and Memphis. They may only end up with 3-4 losses. They are the biggest competition for conference, because they don't come to Moody.
Memphis: @ SMU, UConn, Cincy, SMU, @Temple. So, they will end up with 5 losses.
Really proud of the team. Every single one of us in Dallas should make a point of 1) being at the next game, 2) being their early, and 3) giving the team a standing O every time they hit the court.

Temple was without their starting center and played well. Hats off to them. We just need to take one game at a time. Let's see how we recover against Memphis.
