Temple game thread

[nevadanatural]

Brandon making a difference early. Blocks one, alters one, put back basket, gets fouled.

 

[nevadanatural]

2-6 from the line early. Have to improve there.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

The amount of time that transpires from when Wright gets a pass low and the ball actually leaves his hands...

Somebody help me out with that travel call on Curtis?

I don't get it either. Even on replays.

 

[nevadanatural]

This looks like that crappy crew of refs that called the Temple/SMU game.

 

[lawpoke87]

Bad call. Won't complain about officiating though. Cummins out is huge

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Idea: Curtis attempts alleyoop passes from three from now on.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

We've got to capitalize on Cummings out.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Smitty!!!

 

[nevadanatural]

Lots of effort from both teams but also lots of sloppy play.

 

[JesseTU]

2 fast break points.

5 missed free throws.

If we go at them and hit free throws, we win. Sans #2, they're shallow.

We are hitting threes and taking care of the ball. So that's nice.

Also, hate the bald ref (black guy).

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Temple is really...clunky?

 

[JesseTU]

To say we have no offense is generous. We can't shoot the three, they're taller so it seems we are afraid to go at them. So we have, 4 or 5 times, messed around for the entire shot clock and just jacked something up.

No movement, bad plays by Ray and Smith there.

Temple could not play worse....

Tulsa should be up 15 points.

Tulsa's Curtis makes so many silly turnovers; it's sick. He will never change.

Nail biter for sure.

If Cummings doesn't pick up #3 (assuming he stays in), then that would be a shame.

Temple is a different team with Cummings on the floor. Need to take the ball right at him and draw his third.

 

[TulsaEye]

When Tulsa stops moving, bad things happen.

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Actually that fade away jumper IS one of Smith's shots, announcer.

 

[nevadanatural]

We did not play well in that first half, lots of energy but not much of a plan, but we have the lead. Hopefully we can come out focused in the second half and put it away.

 

[bigzit]

Well.... we are undefeated when leading at the break. And undefeated when keeping opponents under 65.

Gotta like our chances....

We go .500 from the line and we have another point or two.

GOTTA HIT FTs. Prevent Temple of scoring long 3's and continue to hit the boards.

Swannegan has replaced Wright in the starting lineup? When did that happen?

Last game vs ECU.

 

[nevadanatural]

We hit a reasonable percentage from the line and we're up big.

 

[nevadanatural]

I'm glad we have the double digit lead but we should be up 20.

 

[TUPacer]

Wait you mean 30 right?

Done.

Anything else?

 

[Gold*]

Maybe Temple just doesn't match up with us?

 

[chito_and_leon]

Thx Junkie, interesting change. Doesn't seem to have motivated Wright...

[JesseTU]

20% from the field. 45% from ff. 0% from three. Oodles of turnovers.

Maybe they don't match up well, but they are also playing like crap. Not that we are really shining or anything. This game could be an argument for the American as a one bid league...

Yeah, the quick fouls have gotten worse it seems.

Brandon has really responded well though!

 

[Gold*]

If you read Temple board before game, we are not anywhere nearly as talented as they are. I guess they are having an off night?

 

[bigzit]

Jesse, do you watch much basketball???

Temple plays tough physical defense. Tulsa plays tough physical defense.

Temple is a virtual lock to the Dance. Their win over Kansas is HUGE.

 

[nevadanatural]

Brandon has really played well these last two games. I didn't realize Smith had the double double until they threw the graphic up those were sneaky boards.

Maybe so?

This is really something. The game in Philly wasn't an anomaly.

 

[JesseTU]

Temple called time out and is drawing up plays...

60 seconds to go, down by 15, and we are going to close with fouls?

In 39 minutes they scored 37... In one minute their going to score 15?

 

[JesseTU]

30 seconds, down by 16... Timeout.

Did Buffalo Wild Wings hit that buzzer?

 

[Weatherdemon]

RPI up to 38

 

[HHOOTter]

Big "W"
Swannegan has given Tulsa some serious Mojo
Let's take care of Tulane Wed
Then on 2 Memphis Sat Night

Big Week 4 Memphis @ home
SMU Thursday B4 TU Sat.
Hope SMU/Memphis goes Triple OT
Perhaps give Memphis "tired" legs Sat

Go TU

 

[Novocaine]

Did they play any zone at all? I guess they didn't have any access to recent film of our games.
