Temple Game Thread
- Thread starter I.I.
- Start date
With SGC/his father's feelings involved it will be a mutually decided departure I think.
You have been fairly critical of me mentioning only BB should stay of the freshman. I am not even sure about him but he is a better scorer although he has lost his touch the last few games. Just not sure the other two freshman will ever be contributors to an AAC team. Ive been wrong before but that is how I see it after 20 games.You know I’ve given them more time than most.
Still hoping for 7 new faces.
MCWright has more versatility than Knight I feel.
Season long stats compared to minutes played still say you are right.
The rest of the games will be important for all three Freshmen. Butterflies have to be gone by now.
You also were in favor of running off Darien Jackson and Christian Shumate though. Very hard to evaluate freshmen on a team this bad
Had questions about Jackson but never suggested Shumate be run off. However. I do think you are over rating Shumate at McNesse State. Still not a great shooter but playing good defense it appears
I've only watched about 10 minutes so far, mostly in the 2nd half. When Griffin isn't on the floor we have better off ball movement on offense and a seemingly better flow. When he's on the court we seem To be stagnant waiting for him to decide if he's going to shoot or not. And the difference in defense is night and day. We seem to have more defensive intensity across all 5 spots, especially McWright and SGC. That's not saying we haven't made mistakes on defense but it just looks like we're doing a better job of moving our feet, closing out the shooters a little faster, anticipating where the pass is going, etc. From the little I've watched this season after the first handful of games, this looks to be one of our best defensive efforts. Now to see if we can finish the effort out (not saying we are going to win but we need to see the effort sustained).
Things we say on this site are searchable. I probably have a list of “too rosy” takes about players that didn’t pan out, but you’re on the other side of the spectrum.
“We need open scholarships. Shumate May have developed to be ok but not to what we need. Who is it that you do not want to return to open up schoolys?” - You

I checked the stats per minute on Knight & McWright to put #s to it.
Per minute across the board better for Knight on shooting(%) & scoring, but not a great deal of difference. Rebounds & turns it over a little better.(TO's larger margin.) He came out a little better than earlier in the season, and made some ground on McWright.
McWright As/St/Blck/Charges are better per minute stats. Assists was a larger margin.

Our offensive sets look like something Kiefer JV would run….and that might be kind. Watch the Temple players move off the ball. Quick cuts, everyone moving. Then watch us….almost everyone standing in the same spot as the possession progresses. We move for the first 5-10 seconds then just stop. Crazy.
Temple lost at home by 14 to Wichita State last time out btw.
