    Pretty favorable schedule for Temple. Playing Xavier at home significantly inreases their chances at an 'upset'. Will the LaSalle - St. Joes game be at the Palestra? LaSalle should do some damage this year.

    Temple has a really good home schedule this year, unlike last year. Thank goodness we don't have to see Richmond, Charlotte, St. Bonaventure, Fordham or St. Louis. Very unattractive, if not winnable games. Kansas and Nova at the Liacouras Center should be great.

    Of course the Hawks will play LaSalle at the Palestra. Unlike others, the Hawks always play home Big 5 games there. God bless Phil Martelli. Last year, they rebuilt the Fieldhouse. This year, they need somebody to step into Ahmad Nivins' shoes.
