What don't you see in this team??

Incredible second half. That uncharacteristic "everything went right" moment including forcing Temple into a DREADFUL run during a critical stretch. Can't blame the coaching either. Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as possible.

Only FOUR turnovers!!

Completely agree I kept expecting the worst and my heart to be broken and they kept making plays, great job all around

What I do see is good team chemistry.

They look like they are having fun playing together

Basketball, especially college basketball, comes down so much of the time to "Who has the best player on the court?" In a lot of games, we'll have the two best with BJ and Pookie. When they play well, like yesterday, we can beat almost anyone in the country. Miami and Northwestern are way more talented than we are. They're BCS schools that have a chance of getting high seeds in the tournament. BC we should have beaten but we also had no legs due to scheduling.

Obviously we are not winning out. Villanova is going to be like a 20-point favorite. Bucknell is also REALLY good this year. Their record is 3-4, but they played UNC/Arkansas/Maryland and lost by 1 to Monmouth in their first game. Bucknell would be a Top 5 team in the A-10 this year. And every team has a bad slip-up or two or three.

But I don't think there is a game in the A-10 where we won't have the best player. We might not have the two best players in all of those games (Jaylen Adams at St. Bonnie's is really good) but BJ's probably the best player in the conference. Get a good game out of him, Pookie and then hope everyone else executes their role, and they have a shot against anyone else on the roster.

What I liked about yesterday's win the most: Temple played really well. That wasn't a game where Temple was clanging shots or some foul-plagued mess. It was a really well-played game and Temple shot lights out. We were just the better team by the end of the game.

While I agree with most of the points already raised, I don't see consistency in this team. Not yet atleast.

The team we saw yesterday was nothing like we've seen the rest of the year. Play like that, all bets are off. Go 0-15 from three, good luck.

I agree, "What I don't see in this team" is the ability to perform at yesterday's level throughout the schedule.

If anyone didn’t see yesterday, Temple demolished South Carolina 76-60 up at MSG

Temple has a very tough schedule. Still has Nova, Wisconsin, and Georgia remaining on there Non Conference schedule. Along with a game against Joe. The more Temple racks up W's the better for us...
