Tough game. Should have and could have, but they didn't. Kudos to the players though for fighting the whole game.

Well it was fun and a good experience for the team. Hope they got some juice left for Saturday. Saturday doesn't mean as much as it could have... sad.

One or two Free throws and we had this. But these guys played their asses off. Hell of an effort.

Well this game took a few years off my life. Not sure if I should be proud we fought back or miserable we couldn’t take advantage of their starting lineup fouling out. Our guys gave everything they had and just couldn’t give any more. Tough to watch their deep bench play with so much energy and our guys not be able to do anything about it.

painful loss. Love the effort. Team has a whole lot of heart. Much less head and much less than we hoped overall team talent.

Great effort but lost a game we should have won.

Very disappointing game. The boys fought hard tonight and I appreciate it. Losing the game to Temple’s 2nd team was very humbling.,.. Brickus could only do so much. He is the guard that needs take 20 shots per game if anyone is going to.. If I am Dunphy I am pleading with him to stay…
Too emotionally drained to bother right now but Dunphy mismanaged several parts.. This one is going to hurt for awhile

17 TOs to 10 TOs. And free throw wise temple was trash. They gave us chances with that

This loss tonight was disappointing and heartbreaking. Disappointing because this was our shot to beat Temple and heartbreaking because Brickus and Brantley played their hearts out. Tough loss DAMN

Great effort but lost a game we should have won. Lost a game we should have lost before we should have won. The regulation comeback shouldn’t be forgotten.

Richie Tarr is a good analyst. He's a straight shooter.

No one can ever accuse us of playing smart basketball in the clutch, that's for darn sure. The attention to detail is what separates consistent winners from .500 teams.. We just do not have it.. Because you get games like this..

WTF, Dunph most likely cost us this game and our chance to win Big 5 Classic. As soon as the refs turned on us, as Kale indicated, Dunph needed to pick up a T and get their attention... holding them accountable for the off-the ball fouls. . On another note, this might be the dumbest take I’ve seen on this bb.

Those back to back possessions of stepping on the line in the offensive zone killed us. Those hurt.. Brickus you can handle.. Even though he should have given the ball up earlier when the double team was coming.. Shepherd’s.. well you just can’t because he was set in a spot off the ball.. You talk with other coaches that his issue they bring up with him.. Can jump out of gym but is struggling to piece together But there were multiple other instances.. Some already mentioned earlier.. I was at the game so I needed to play catch up.. You can’t fault the guys they were gassed.. doesn’t matter if you are 21-23 years old.. every single minute you are done for when it comes to a 3rd OT.. Really why Temple who started who started the 3rd OT with 1 starter ,who fouled out, beat us pretty handily in the period against our team which started the 3rd OT with 4 of our starters.. Heck Temple finished with a walk-on and scholly player that literally didn’t play this season..

Should have lost in regulation. Should have won in OT. Could have won in 2OT (Free Throws with 19 seconds left) but also could have lost (Temple makes one of the 12 putbacks ).
I don’t know about top 5 “worst” loss for me but definitely in the top 5 most painful.

And on another side note.. Kudos to Lucas who was a cold turkey and was thrown into the fire and made 2 free throws.. And frankly made them look easy to give us a chance.. What he did was very very tough to do

That's such bullshit and denigrates what these guys did tonight. You can be proud of players even if they lose. Sure we can be proud of great individual efforts. The team still lost. That's all that really matters. The mentality of being content with a triple OT loss is just sad. We get blown out by the big boys, lose to every semi decent team and beat up on the Coppin States of the world. Look out CBI here we come!

Those Temple 3s gave me flashbacks to Pepe Sanchez at McGonigle back in the day (maybe 1996).
Can we block CoachD? Dude just seems to pick fights with everyone.

Weingarten hit an opening three and we led wire to wire. 15 years? That's really making me feel old.

To me this a much bigger gut punch than a nearly 30 point loss to Duke. Was really excited for Saturday, and now not sure I even have it in me. Yup... we had an opportunity taken away from playing for the first ever Big 5 Classic championship game againt the Hawks who we would have beaten. Very sad. Very happy with third place. There is no way we were going to beat the Hawks for the championship if you look at what they did to a nationally ranked Villanova team! Penn should beat us for the same reason... unless Dunph outcoaches Donahue.

Don't think I can take a fourth OT! Because it's all about you now!! Don't you now wish you had?
