As reported by Kelly Hines (and mentioned in other thread), Rashad did not participate in warm-ups but is suited up. Curtis is starting in his place.

Looks like we are going to have an exhibition game sized crowd. Hope I'm wrong.

Late arriving and dead crowd. We keep jacking 3's and clanking them like they're going out of style. We are getting to the rim fairly easily when we actually move the ball but we keep settling for 3's. D Ok so far but they've hit a couple of 3's early. Our depth is going to be challenged severely tonight, especially inside

It's one of those nights...nothing falling for us. Inside, outside, medium side...just bricks everywhere

Stats are saying Edogi came in. Before anyone loses their mind. He has not played.

We can't shoot. Tough to win when you can't make shots.

TEMPLE IS ON FIRE!!!

Just keep it within 10 points and see if we can get something going 2nd half.

We are down 2 scorers: Smith because of injury, and Shaq because of the comedy is that is them daring him to shoot the three.

We are sitting back and jacking up 3s. Meanwhile, they are scoring from the inside, unless we crash down--- then they are nailing threes. While packing in the zone preventing our slashing.

This feels ominously like a few earlier games...

Wright sucks bad. He does not realize when he literally takes 4 steps????? He's that obtuse?

We can't go down 20 to this team and hope to shoot out way out of it

Shooting will even out. Happy this game is at home. We're going to be fine. This game will be a 2 point game at half

If they lose this... it's all about the Tourney. Perhaps some FIRE/HUNGER for these Seniors will push 'em through. If they do lose, then you have to rest Smith until the Tourney.

Weight could have just placed the ball in the basket but dribbled instead.

Dre is playing for Temple. He has had 5 turnovers. We are up to 2-12 from three so we have that going for us along with total enlightenment.

Temple only has 1 pt since we switched to straight up man D. Dre is a SR, still plays like a FR putting the ball in the floor after receiving some great passes in great position.

18-4 run to end the half. I'll take it. Missed two really good opportunities to really get momentum at the end though

That switch away from the zone was the turning point. Will be so glad when we have different post player....can't be worse.

A very loud crowd helped spur that run. If the team keeps it's intensity on D throughout the 2nd half, we will win.

Could be way worse. So Smitty didn't even warm up?

They were really ready for our inside game. Not many looks there. Concerned about how they play when Bond and Brown are out there again.

6 pm games are the worst. Crowd was late. Traffic in midtown at 5 pm is stupid with all that construction.

Just to add to what Gold said... The bench is THE ONLY place fans of TU know he isn't during games...

Yeah, this is bizarre. When guys left mid year, we usually got a flier in the Tulsa World notebook after the game. Oh right, they don't do that anymore.
