Can’t let them back in the game...
Also go to the little merchandise shop in the Reynolds center if you’re here. 50% off everything. I just bought a bunch of stuff for cheap!

And exactly what we didn’t need to happen is happening. Wake the hell up, the 2nd half has started. Pound the ball inside. Eche-whatever the hell his name is and the other big guy are in foul trouble. Pound the ball in. Junior chucking up 3s. I know you’re trying to get him involved but it’s being forced
We slowed it down late in the 1st and lost our energy.
Need a big play to get some momentum back.

You’re absolutely right. It is what it is, you’re the biggest idiot on this board and have absolutely zero knowledge of anything you lost about. Shut your mouth and go away
I came on here and thought we were down by 10 at least. Imagine my surprise to go to ESPN and see us up by 11.
The 2nd half with the exception of Henderson has been very tentative. Temple is pressing and we are turning the ball over at an alarming rate right now. It’s not even bad passes, they’re just taking the ball away from whoever has it. Taplin,Joiner, Jeffries...it’s awful. And it’s all because we went into slow down mode at the start of the half. We’re running the shot clock down every possession with no movement. We’re not making Temple work at all on the defensive end.
We're turning it over because we're not passing the ball. Dribbling to outrun them isn't how you deal with pressure. Still we're up double digits so I'm not bothered
I’m bothered because it’s dumb, undisciplined basketball. You get away with it when you’re up 14 pts. You lose close games playing that way (see the 1st Temple game which if we had won maybe we’re talking bubble right now).
Yea, too much 1:1 ball.
Haven't pressed on D for a while either.
Taplin playing like he had a late night.
Yeah if it were a trend I'd be upset. Our last few games prior to this have been the cleanest we've played all season so that definitely makes me feel better about it
On the other hand we’re out rebounding them 36-26, remember the beginning of the year and our rebounding? The rebound differential is larger than the turnover differential.
True. I always get upset when we have a big lead and give most of it away. Reality is once they got it to 7 we pushed it back to 10-11 and they’ve never gotten it back to single digits.
And 23/26 free throws. We'll win every game we do that
12-6 in a pretty good conference...
Wow. Did not see that as remotely possible.
Beat Lamar... and likely on the inside of the bubble or squarely on it.

We got the win. That’s the only positive from the game today. We need to grow a set and be ready to play on Friday. If we go in playing either Memphis or USF like we played temple today then they will smoke us out of Orlando. Other than that GO TU!!!!
Memphis or USF will smoke us? Uh no sorry. Another dumb statement. We played like we did today and won by 18, thanks.
Bro... we beat a top 50 rpi team by 18 points. That’s pretty positive. If we play Memphis or ucf like we played today we will win going away.
Umm yeah temple played like crap. If they came in playing the type of ball they normally do then we would not have fairer well. We played lazy and sloppy mostly in the second half. Yeah we play half assed like that we will get smoked.
Yep. In terms of RPI this was our best win of the season, even better than Kansas St.
And we dominated the game, even despite a few bad stretches after being up 24-0.
Bro, we are better than temple and don’t you think we had something to do with them playing bad? You sound ignorant stop.
Was it temple playing like “crap” or was it us playing well? Sure we had more turnovers than we’d all prefer but we won the game, they didn’t lose it.
