Temple

[jacobkdoyle]

Game is Tuesday at 3 PM EST on ESPN2

Temple is 5-5 with wins against Minnesota (75-70), Delaware (69-50), Fairleigh Dickinson (79-70), Pennsylvania (77-73), and Delaware State (78-63). Losses have come against North Carolina (91-67), Butler (74-69), Utah (74-68), Wisconsin (76-60), and St. Joe's (66-65 OT).

They have DeCosey (15.1 PPG), Bond (10.3 PPG 7.5 RPG) and Enechionyia (11.0 PPG)

They are #113 in KenPom.

I'm having a hard time trying to guess the spread. I think it might be high. -13 maybe? Temple isn't very good. This game shouldn't be a problem.

Temple 61
UC 77

I would think a pretty weak crowd. Heartbreaking home losses on top of a 3 pm weekday game..just stupid time for a game. Does anyone know why its at 3? Is it part of a special marathon espn is doing?
Disappointing I won't be able to go. Anyone want my tickets?

For television purposes. They are having an AAC conference opener all day on ESPN2. Last Wednesday, UConn played a 12:30 pm weekday game. It's all for the TV exposure...

Any other predictions/things you would like to see?

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

Things I want to see today:

1. Hold Temple under 39.5% FG (their season average)

2. Out rebound them on the defensive glass by 5+

3. Have less than 12 turnovers

4. Have at least 6 steals and force more than 10 turnovers (Temple is #1 in the nation with 8.5 TO's per game)

5. Score at least 70 points

I want to see KJ have a clean game.

I appreciate his aggressiveness and toughness and can tell by listening to Cronin that he likes that as well from him but in my judgment KJ just seems to come in too amped up or something. Cant quite put my finger on it.

It's almost like he doesn't know when to go all out and when to just let the game come to him.

I'd like to see the Cats get out to a quick start. They seem to dig themselves a hole in the in the first 5 - 10 minutes.

 

[WAITE HOYT 2]

I'll settle for a win with max effort from start to finish.

Agreed.

Jacob Evans and Cory DeBerry starting in place of Shaq and Ellis. Hopefully Evans doesn't relinquish the starting spot until he graduates

 

[Bearcat_NTS]

I like the shake up. This change could be a good thing. Hopefully there is nothing behind it...(like violation of team rules, etc).

I'll take team full of KJ if they actually had skills

Deberry can only play in 5-6min spurts
