Rice(-1) on the road...

...today would be a good one to get in a bounce back!

Couple of common opponents, FWIW, Florida State beat Rice in Houston at Toyota Center in a tournament and Hofstra took them down 68-63 in OT at a tournament in the Bahamas.

They only have two players averaging double digits, point guard Tre Broadnax (13.4) and Kellen Amos (10.0), but they have several players in the 8-9 ppg area including Alem Huseinovic and Denver Anglin, both are 3 point shooters. Also, Caden Powell is a forward who can rebound, averaging 9.3 ppg and 7.1 rebounds.

It would be great to get off to a fast start today...

Owls playing for share of first place in AAC standings vs. Tulane

In case anyone is looking for a quick crash course on Tulane.


No Elijah Gray today, per Colin Schofield. I'd be a little surprised if he plays on the upcoming two-game road swing at North Texas and UTSA, but we'll hear more from Adam Fisher on that front later this afternoon.

Temple(-3.5) today...

...vs Tulane. Line was (-4.5) when I woke this morning. Tulane is currently #165 in Net Rating...Owls are #108.

Green Wave played nobody in non-conference with exception to Florida State who beat them 77-64 in Miami.

Tulane is 4-1 in Conference, with loss coming at UAB 81-69.

Kaleb Banks (Indiana transfer) and Rowan Brumbaugh (Georgetown transfer) are their big scorers along with Asher Woods, Kam Williams and Greg Glenn III all averaging just a tick under 10 ppg. Brumbaugh and Williams are their best 3 point shooters. IF Gray doesn't play...one less body to throw at Banks...Duradola, Keita and BATTIE will have to be enough.

We shall see if Owls can back up their big win with another good one and maintain their undefeated record at home.

**Late line move back to Temple(-4.5)...I like it!!!

GO Owls!

Taking mailbag questions until 10 a.m. Friday

Good afternoon, everyone!

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's podcast until 10 a.m. Friday. As I mentioned on the football board, we were hoping to have a new episode recorded by now, but I've been sick. My apologies for the delay. So instead of advancing the Temple-Memphis game, we'll be reacting to it Friday morning.

Thanks as always for listening!

Good afternoon, everyone!

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's podcast until 10 a.m. Friday. We were hoping to have a new episode recorded by now, but I've been sick. My apologies for the delay. Happy to talk recruiting, the staff, the roster and/or anything else you'd like to add to to the agenda.

The TUFF Fund

Good morning Owl fans:

As many of you know, the TUFF Fund was formed in the fall, with hopes of modernizing Temple Athletics through NIL. Over the past several months, we've signed over a dozen student-athletes, including all eligible Men's Basketball players.

We've decided to join OwlScoop so that we can provide information and resources directly to the most ardent and passionate Temple fans. We'll occasionally provide updates, whether it be signings, fundraising opportunities, events, or charitable initiatives that our student-athletes are involved with over the course of the year. We'll also answer questions to the best of our ability and within the guidelines of the NCAA and state of Pennsylvania.

I believe I'm preaching to the choir when I express how vitally important NIL is to the success of an athletics program. While it's been a slow build, I think that we are trending in a positive direction as a whole.

And while it's probably poor bedside manner to ask for something out of the chute, we currently have a donor who has graciously offered to match all funds up to $10,000 by the tip off on Sunday versus Houston. If you have the ability to do so, and many have already done so since it's gone live yesterday, please consider contributing. Our continued ability to demonstrate to the administration and the BOT that there is interest and a propensity to give to NIL will go a long way.

Go Owls

Can these Owls ball or what?

This win over Memphis was truly a team effort. Z, Mashburn, Steve Settle, Q, Shane DeZooine, and all of the rest did their part to claw this win away from the Tigers.

Sure our inbounding, ball handling, rebounding, and foul shooting could use some tightening up.

BUT THESE OWLS CAN BALL AND MADE A STATEMENT TONIGHT ON BROAD ST!!!

(And is it only me who is glad to see Nick Jordain lose after he quit and moved to Memphis?)

GO OWLS!

4-star CB Jett White talks Temple commitment

Ryan Mack caught up with Jett White, the first 4-star recruit to pick Temple since Karamo Dioubate back in 2016, and you can check out the story here in case you missed it out on the front page.

Taking mailbag questions until 3 p.m. today for The Scoop

Good morning, everyone! We're taking mailbag questions until 3 p.m. today for this week's episode of The Scoop. Kyle, Johnny and I will be joined by former OwlScoop reporter Dante Collinelli, who's now a deputy editor at the 33rd Team. Dante broke down what Tyler Walker's offense could look like at Temple, so we'll be talking a lot about that, the roster, the recent recruiting visits and anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.

Thanks as always for your continued support and listenership with the pod. We appreciate it!
