Who would you like to see win?
Tough call for me..
I guess Temple..but I don't want them stealing an at large spot from us. St. Joe's is pretty much out of the picture in that regard..

I'm a big Giants fan, and this game to me is like when the Eagles play Cowboys. I have to root for one of them, but it makes me sick.
I'm rooting for Joe's, because that would mean if we beat them in 2 weeks, we would clinch at least a piece of the Big 5 title, even if we lost to Temple. It's true the other way too, but I have more hope in beating Joe's than Temple.

I want Temple because St Joe's posters can be obnoxious and do like the Dumpster. Speaking about good how about Miami. Today they beat NC State and are the best team in the ACC and probably a top 5-8 team in the country.
Let's see they destroyed Duke, beat North Carolina handily and won today. They probably end up a two or three seed Tourny time.

They probably end up a two or three seed Tourny time. Especially with Reggie Johnson back now (he had 15 points and 8 rebounds in 23 minutes today). Still gets me aggravated thinking about how we collapsed down the stretch in that game - would have been a huge, huge win for us. Those last 10 minutes were bad. |

Can't believe Temple gave up that late 2nd half lead. It's hard to believe that Temple is buried in the A10 at this moment.

They were losing in the last minute against Fordham and pulled that one out the other night and this collapse by Temple. How does Temple blow that lead? A really bad loss for Temple because they choked that lead away down the stretch. |

You have to feel for Wyatt. He single handily had that game won for Temple. St. Joe's will be gunning for us.

You guys have the wrong impression of SJU fans. They were pulling for us when we beat butler.
I am not a martelli fan but very happy that our biggest rivalry game is now the big 5 championship, as if it could hold any more significance. Agreed with the other poster who said we can take st joes, but winning at temple will be darn near impossible especially with how Wyatt has been dominating.
No need to feel for wyatt. Basketball is a team game. St Joes doesn't play for 40 minutes.perhaps because of their short rotation.... but Temple didn't match their intensity today.

watching this game last night highlighted to me that we will most likely need a combination of 10 minutes from Rohan Brown and Garvin Hunt. The main reason would be to help the foul situation with Zack / Wright.
Zack / Wright can not afford to be in any foul trouble for the TU and SJU games. We have to find a way to help these two out in this regard. Both SJU & TU have bigs that play away from the basket and that is where Zack and Wright are prone to getting stupid fouls....
With that being said our guard rotation will cause problems for both TU and SJU.

I thought Butler had some of the best bigs and our guys were ok. Trick is going to be getting our guard rotation to force those teams to try and match up with us; force the tempo and issue.
