BTW, Eric Coley is in the house.

Which one?

 

[cmullinsTU]

Yeah, this is bizarre. When guys left mid year, we usually got a flier in the Tulsa World notebook after the game. Oh right, they don't do that anymore.

They're too busy debating amongst themselves if Tulsa and AAC are mid major.

BTW, Eric Coley is in the house.

He was at the Cincy game too. Glad he found his way back "home"

 

[Tulsafanzz]

Could be way worse. So Smitty didn't even warm up?

They were really ready for our inside game. Not many looks there. Concerned about how they play when Bond and Brown are out there again.

6 pm games are the worst. Crowd was late. Traffic in midtown at 5 pm is stupid with all that construction.

Good point on Bond. We did make our run with Bond on the bench with 2 fouls.

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

Temple cannot keep up, legs are going to get heavy down the stretch.

First 5 minutes of the second half will tell the story of this game. We either start to pull away or this will be a dogfight to the end imo

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

Play man to man and we run this team.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Play man to man and we run this team.

Especially if they allow physical play inside. Swanny is playing exception deny defense. In many prior games they'd call fouls for it.

Can be used for dunks and travels.

This is do-able. Course I said that last time we played them.

 

[TU_BLA]

GREAT D LEADS TO GREAT O. Man D is an absolute strength for this team. Dre and Swannegan are playing solid interior D without fouling. Hitting some shots now. Temple is gassed too...Decosey struggling to get up and down the court.

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

Love the defense, making them work for a shot ever trip.

 

[T Up]

Then don't say it!!!!

 

[T Up]

Please lord don't let Haith go into a delay!!!! They have their hands on their shorts. They are gassed. Push em!

 

[Henry Kendall]

Don't know the stats,but we are killing them on the glass second half. Temple is gassed.

 

[T Up]

It may be time for Ray in for Shaq. We are in the 1-1. Can't afford to missed three free throws now.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Double digit win here suuuuure looks nice on our resume.

I love how we responded with our backs against the wall after Houston/Temple.

 

[TU_BLA]

STATEMENT MADE!!!

 

[Henry Kendall]

If you are Temple, this is the type of demoralizing loss that could change the trajectory of the rest of your season.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

So.

Is this renewed focus coaching? Leadership? Both?

Or maybe Birt is just contagious.

 

[bigzit]

Tulsa could win the regular season....

Take care of biz.

BIG WIN. The guard play cannot be playing any better.

 

[Gold*]

We played well but they shot booty in the second half.

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

Agree Gold, great win. Temple was wore smooth out getting off the bus. Should help sagrin and hopefully confidence.

6 turnovers. That's all we had in this game. Outstanding stuff

 

[Li'l Eric Coley]

C'mon baby, make it birt so good!

Would have been perfect vs the John Houston Cougars.

 

[ba11game]

We have now beaten every team we have played in conference at least once. RPI at 32. Second in the league to SMU.

 

[Li'l Eric Coley]

Would have been perfect vs the John Houston Cougars.

Where do the cantelope go in the summer??? Houston Cougar's Melon Camp. Hey-o!

 

[Tu Geo]

You realize Big E hasn't been on the bench the entire semester, right? Way to follow your team.

Too Funny Gold!!!!

Go TU!!!!

 

[Tu Geo]

Which one?

Dude that's cold

GO TU!!!!

 

[Li'l Eric Coley]

Aint nothin cold 'bout it, brother. There's Big and there's Li'l. Big heard there was a guy wearing his #11 and staring people down so he had to make sure Birt was up to snuff.

Gotcha

Go TU!!!

 

[Tu Geo]

Four Temple highlights in our 19 point win on ESPN none for Tulsa

Weird

Go TU!!!

 

[I.I.]

The editors were told to select Temple highlights since they are obviously the better team.

 

[mcane]

I realized at the 15 minute mark in the 2nd half that Temple had its big energy comeback in Houston, a quick turn around to Tulsa, and had been on the road 5-6 days. Always ripe for fatigue. Yep.

 

[canester2002]

We have played Cincy and Temple with a road trip at UCF in the last 6 days and won all 3. No excuses although ESPN keeps giving them on Temple's behalf.
