A neutral site game in Brooklyn against a team with a pulse. Temple is a fringe top-30 team. They're 7-2 and 3-2 in their last 5. Temple is really good on defense and grabbing rebounds. They score 71.9 PPG (199th), allow 60.1 PPG (29th) and grab 40.8 RPG (47th). They're led by three guards but they don't shoot the 3PT well. For the season, they're 257th or 31.1%. Temple doesn't have any scary big men and they rotate a lot of them.

RPI: 42nd (https://www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/rpi-ranking/rpi-rating-by-team)

BPI: 50th (https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bpi/_/view/overview/page/1)

SOS: 69th

Who have they played:

Wins: Drexel (5-6) [Won by 8], Morgan State (4-8) [Won by 18], @ La Salle (6-3) [Won by 5], @ USC (9-2) [Won by 9], TAMpon (4-5) [Won by 23], Davidson (5-5) [Won by 13] and St. Joes (2-9) [Won by 27]

Losses: @ Maryland (10-1) [Loss by 7] and Missouri (6-4) [Loss by 10]

Players to Watch: Three Guards. Three Guards. Quinton Rose is a tall guard at 6'8 and averages 14.7 PPG, 5.2 RPG and 3.7 APG. Nate Pierre Louis averages 12.3 PPG, 8.6 RPG, 3.2 APG and 2.3 SPG. Alani Moore averages 9.9 PPG, 3.1 RPG, 2.7 APG and 1.8 SPG.

Spread: TBD

Rose and Moore are seniors and Louis a junior, experience in the backcourt.
 
The big question is whether Coach L got on the plane yesterday with his back issues. I’d imagine this ends up being another Caputo game.

Don't shoot but I can't see an easy time of it up North. Losing 82-76 of course hoping to be wrong.

Regardless of what you all think of L. Whether he is a good coach or not. There is no doubt after the way he has been limited this season (on and off the court) it is time for him to hang it up.
 
Should be an interesting matchup.

Whatever the outcome, do not want to watch another huge run by an opposing team.

Thank you sir. I don’t know if he will or not or whether the writer actually knows or is assuming.


This is telling... “The biggest weakness has been their interior defense, as per hoop-math.com, they’re allowing opponents to shoot 65.7% at the rim (40th-worst in CBB).”
