We are 8 point underdogs. Let's disappoint everyone that bet against us and anyone that bet on Temple straight up.

Ready to get another W over the TUs!

 
I have to imagine this is what it was like watching the cincy-ucf game last night
 
Damn. Korita for 2 treys and Henderson for 1.
Taplin tried his luck a little Early in the clock but glad he took the shot.
 
Not calling the bumps bringing the ball up court but called that T?
Weak T IMO.

What was the T? I'm watching the game but 5-6 is dinner time for my little ones which makes it tough for me to pay close attention
 
Turned it on long enough to see the abysmal score. Turned on the news instead.
 
What is with the weak a$$ passes? Dear God....it’s like they’re 6 years old and think they can pass the ball through people.
 
I forgot the game was at 3 and missed most of the half. Statbroadcast doesn’t even list this game.

We don’t play a zone well. Too much collapsing. They go into the paint we have 3 guys sag down to the ball. Makes for an easy kick out
 
Taplin 7 turnovers ( well it seems like 7). Need the WSU Taplin to return.

On the steal and pass out to Tap the zone was extended properly. Gotta do it that way all the time. Lather rinse repeat

You oughtta see our man ;)

I don’t think our zone has been that bad. We’re extending it and causing them some issues

As poorly as they played they are tied at half...Temple fans are probably saying the same thing.

Only took Taplin 19 1/2 minutes to get as aggressive as he was on Saturday. Couple times in the last4 minutes where he just turned himself out of the lane after getting a nice screen on the ball.

Igbanu needs to feel the back side help and pass out of the blocks. No reason he should be getting blocked that many times on layups by a guard dominated line up.

We needed to take advantage of Echenyiona being on the bench for most of the half...we didn’t.

If we can cut out the stupid ridiculous turnovers we should win by 10. Temple is not a good defensive team, they’re not a great shooting team. If we shoot our average 2nd half and continue the rebounding, we should be fine. But who the hell knows which Tulsa team will show up for the 2nd half.

They get Onecheagua back second half, need to get a foul on him early.
 
I saw Cincy play ugly @ Temple. We usually play well here but really ugly half by both teams. The steals were the highlights along with 8 points from Korita. ( and the unbelievable three from Henderson). I’ve never seen one like that from that position on the floor.

Tulsa scored 7 in the first 10 minutes and 19 in the final 10 minutes. Hopefully the final 10 minutes continue.

I just turned this on... and see a Igbanu/Etou missed layup and a Taplin getting smothered on a fast break... and I say to myself.... "this is BAD basketball."
 
Better shooting to start but chances to go up 8-10 pts and Igbanu misses an uncontested layup and Taplin takes a lazy layup with a 6’9” breathing down his neck. Pull up and fake Obi into fouling you or go up and dunk. Can anyone besides Jeffries dunk?
