    I guess it could be worse, could be St. Joes. That said, another disappointing year on North Broad.

    Could not watch whole game as espn here in SaoPaulo shows 3-4 games at once,but in the 5 min. total of what I did see,the refs. made 4 bad calls against Temple. However;Temple did miss 5 free-throws,3 1&1's(that I saw) When opportunity knocks,gotta have the answer

    bobcitydoc, I could not agree more. While it is easy to say Fran has done a "great" job with this program I would say squeaking into the tourny and getting bounced in an ugly game in the first round is far below my expectation for this program. Get it done Fran!!!!

    Temple just cant get as deep in tournament. Only reason they did in previous years was Chaneys stellar matchup D. Dont see a Dunphy team getting much further than one win, if that. As an older alum that hurts to say, but they just seem to be outmatched in talent once they squeak in. That no call on the long rebound and then the mysterious traveling call when Dionte split the defenders were bad calls, and that was our last ditch effort to make it close. Oh well one and done again, the fun ends fast. Frustrating.

    I agree with you TheReck82, but one thing is for sure , if Pretty Boy Wright doesn't have his team ready, just like they weren't ready against American, they will lose to UCLA. Hopefully they will win I wouldn't want Pretty Boy to waste that money on the Armani suits he bought for the tournament.
