Has anyone on this board watched our women play? Alicia Froling is the poster child of this statement.


Her brother, on the other hand, was not.

Alicia is a total badass. It's hard to believe Harry is from the same mother.

It took me a long time to learn this, but the best rebounders don't watch the ball but look for an opponent to block out and then attack the rim. Players who do that rule the boards.

They are all important but starting 3-0 would be huge.

BTW, 11.5 point spread is surprising. I know we are very tough to beat in Moody but this team handed WV and FSU their only losses.

11.5 is very generous. I guess Vegas is betting bad Temple is alot more likely to show up than good Temple. Game scares me because they can get hot. We need to jump on them and play real tight D from the tip. Looks like there are alot of open tickets left. Hope everyone shows up. If you dont have tickets there are some ridiculously cheap tickets on stubhub & vivid seats.

Temple also plays very good defense. So, I wouldn't be surprised by a low scoring game.

If we can hold them to 11 points in the first half I like our chances.

The only way Temple wins is if Coleman goes unconscious:

No way it happens again tonight!

We certainly could. It is a great strategy that worked well for University Central Florida. I am worried Temple is gonna hang with us though.

Thought you said outside of Cincinnati it was a terrible conference. So why would you worry. How do you rate Temple?

Coleman must have been a senior last year. I don't see his name on the roster tonight.
