Good win, 26% from 3 isnt going to beat WSU in Wichita. Let hope we have a good shooting night!

Release the hellhounds

I’m by no means an expert, but I think rebounding is just more difficult when you
have to go find a guy to box out rather than always being on a man

You're right...Defensive rebounding from any zone defense is harder than man
to man....

Our best box out people from observation are Korita and Horne...I thought Korita
had a really good rebounding night.....

Temple is more athletic than talented at basketball.....This conference is tough,
and there are no 'gimmies'......

Also we will know if Memphis beats Houston as our game starts at 2 Sunday as Houston plays at 11 let Houston lose there last 2 games

Houston needs to beat Memphis, it appears the current pecking order on the Bubble has Cincinnati and Wichita State barely in the tourney with Memphis on the outside looking in, and TU back even further. A Memphis loss and TU outright championship should push TU ahead of Memphis. It appears the AAC will only get 3 teams, imo TU needs a season sweep of Wichita State and the outright regular season championship to justify an inferior NET ranking and have a shot at claiming 1 of those 3 spots going into the AAC tournament. Imo, UM and TU are already in "survive and advance" mode.

Just my .02

This is why early bad losses kill your chances in March unless you are in a traditional Power Conference, which TU isn't. Losses to UTA, Colorado State and especially Kansas State are wins Tulsa needed to combat the streak league the American is (why I say we need 35% from three the rest of the way to win out). I am convinced the only reason Memphis is getting this kind of love is their coach, we blew them out and aren't really in the at-large discussion yet they are.

Hill is really going to be special

Yup. He is a great ball handler and passer.
