Temple

[HomerCecil]

Not to look ahead, but they're arguably playing as well as, if not better than, we are right now. They won at George Washington by 53 — it was 28-2 at one point — and they destroyed Dayton at home, 76-52, after leading 52-27 early in the second half. This will be a really tough road game and the win and A10 title are definitely not a foregone conclusion.

They're the only other A-10 team that's really worthy of at-large consideration at this point; Duquesne is on life support right now and Xavier is their last chance at a road scalp before going into the conference tournament.

Match up.

Not trying to discount Temple at all, because they are very good, and I know Dayton has struggled lately anyway, but UD did play without their leading scorer, Raterman, and Doughtery, their 2nd leading scorer, only managed to get off 4 shots all game for a total contribution of 0 points from 2 players averaging 28 or so between them. No doubt this will be a very tough game, especially being in Philly.
