Temple Round 2

Going by stats/kenpom, it looks like Temple's game is pretty similar to UC's. Primary focus is defense. They're 8th in the nation in defensive efficiency (88.8 points given up per 100 plays). That said, though, their offense is relatively abysmal. As a team, they shoot .380, good for 342nd in the country. Kenpom has them at 220th in adjusted offense as well. Would be shocked if either team scored in the 60s and beyond.

UC 57
Temple 53

Temple's number are deceiving because they've had guys in and out of the lineup. With the current starting 5, they are 11-0.

So you're saying they are due for a loss.

And since Jermaine Sanders has been inserted into the starting lineup, the lineup of Troy, KJ, Sanders, Clark and Ellis is 7-0. Should be fun.

Incorrect. Cincinnati lost at ECU on 2/1/14 with Sanders in the starting lineup.

Troy was not in the starting lineup that day. Therefore, my stat is correct.

UC will be beat Temple by 6-8 points. They will beat Tulane by 8-12 and then beat X whether they are ranked or not.

If all 3 of these things happen, I will sacrifice my first born in your honor

You also said @SMU would be a loss... This team has played very well in big games and i think we match up well with temple. Im with jeff i predict a 6-8 pt victory, then a home win over tulane. We will be riding a lot of momentum and I have a hard time seeing the guys not ready to take care of xavier in front of 13k+ of their own fans. Troy to me is the key (everyone is worried about gary's health tomarrow, i think he is fine, but he has had some quiet games on the road) troy is our best player, but he needs to remain aggressive for 40 minutes and continue to play with confidence and this team will be tough. I would love to see troy penetrate more, he is shooting great and is having a very good year i just know he can do more. I hope to see him average 14 or more in these next few games

I didn't say lose both I said one or the other I'm just quoting what the coach said.

Ok my fault, i was just joking too bout the smu...these will be hard games and you never know what uc team will show...but i have a good feeling about tomarrow night, and outside of VCU (which had a lot to do with coach) we are pretty tough inside 5/3

The reverse thing must be working lol but seriously IMO we lose one x or temple.
And the one I predict they win (ecu) they lose.
