It's time to play Predict How and By How Much We Lose (the OOC Edition)!
I'll go Temple 67, UR 65 after the Owls close the games on an 11-2 run over the final 7:30 and we turn it over five times.

Be interesting to see how this one goes. Seems like a bit of a let down spot for both teams. We are favored by 1, yet Temple has victories over Rutgers and Villanova.
The Zach Hicks game. Hopefully if we lose we will get the Temple posters on here to slam dunk it on us rub our nose in it. Looks like Zach is a solid player for them, had 20 points in a loss to Vandy.

Opponent: Temple --> Preseason 5th in American
"The biggest reason Temple has a shot at team success once more is Khalif Battle. He still doesn’t get enough attention nationwide, but the guard is one of the best players in the AAC. After Battle, the Owls have a lot of sophomores ready to step up to the plate, which could bode very well for the team’s future. Hysier Miller, Damian Dunn, Jahlil White, and Nick Jourdain fill out the top part of the team’s rotation. All of those players are sophomores. Still, this team will go as Battle goes. If he’s healthy and playing like he was at the start of last year, Temple is a legitimate AAC title threat. Without that, the Owls will probably languish somewhere near the lower half of the pack."

no time to feel sorry for ourselves.
let's get this one. Temple would be a good win.

Literally the first possession of the game and we already bit on a pump fake and they made an open 3
Looks like they opened with man defense. Must not have seen scouting report or looked at film.

once again, we start the game by digging a nice big hole for ourselves to struggle out of for the remainder of the game. I don't blame Mooney though it's these darn players not listening to him!

We’re playing great defense right now. Offense isn’t clicking but we’ve created open shots and allowed only 16 points through 12 minutes. We need Roche to hit those open looks.
Good hustle from Bailey there too. Gets his shot blocked and then immediately follows it with a steal.
I love being able to watch games in real time and not hours later on DVR. There’s nothing like it

Looks like me on Sunday mornings. Except Quinn has about 11 inches on me
The passing while running the offense is lazy. The offense requires quick execution and have not seen it. When Goose came back in at least he brought some pace with him.
Edit - out of the under 8 timeout passes and cuts are noticeably crisper

Was that 7 straight turnovers for Temple? 8? Never seen anything like that.
Nothing like a 15-0 run to take the lead. I’m telling you, this team is going to be fun to watch
9 straight turnovers! Temple’s last shot was at the 10:05 mark and we’re now at the 4:07 mark
They have not attempted a shot in 6 minutes

when we play good it's all moonie and when we play bad it's all the player's fault, am I getting it right?
Bro chill. Are you even watching the game or just beating your meat to Mooney on the sideline
That’s 11 turnovers and 1 shot for 2 points in Temple’s last 12 possessions. If this was a video game my controller would be in the tv right now
