I am not sure what to think ? There is just no major questioning of the non call . Maybe it is " like it was only Temple so who cares ? " . Could it be that the power 5 team won and why ruffle some feathers . I don't even see the local press questioning that call . It ends a season for a team and the careers of four players . I just don't get it . It was so obvious to me that it was a major , easy to see and highlighted play that was just not called correctly . The officials decided who would win . Can't happen . Am I crazy ???

The concessions there were awesome compared to the Linc or Wells Fargo Center. Great condiments for hot dogs and burgers. Madison Square Garden, Citi Field, The old Shea and Yankee Stadium are the same way. I despise New York teams, but their arenas/stadiums have great concessions.

The new rules may actually help Temple pick up some better players.

GO Owls

Win the Cherry and White game

Iowa got to this game buy Cheatng, with gutless refs!

Hahahaha can't help but laugh, called it the second Dingle subbed in

Ok, so the demons have been exercised. I'll continue to watch the rest of the NCAAs from my couch instead of buying a plane ticket to the second weekend. So it goes.

Where are we from a recruiting perspective ? Any game changing types on the radar that we can possibly close? Transfers for next year?

seems that way. Or perhaps TU in general. Skversky is a Temple alum. Certainly he's frustrated like the rest of us. 2001 feels very very long ago. This program needs energy in a hurry.

I have ripped his lackadaisical play over the years, but he was a man today. In the past, he would have blown one of those three free throws at the end of the game, but today he had ice water in his veins. He.really came to play. Except for losing the ball with us up 2 in overtime, he was a stud. I apologize for ever calling him this team's version of Mik KIlgore.

I'm told that Temple will host around 80 recruits on Saturday for spring practice. They are also holding a post-practice barbecue for the recruits. For now, a few names that will be in attendance:

-2017 Burlington WR Everett Wormley
-2018 Rancocas Valley RB Iverson Clement
-2017 Cherry Hill West CB Harrison Hand

Another recruiting note: Temple will host 2017 Boys Latin Charter (Baltimore, Md.) defensive end Victor Dimukeje for an unofficial visit next Thursday. The Owls offered him earlier this week.

2018 Imhotep Charter (Pa.) safety/running back Isheem Young will take an unofficial visit to Temple on Thursday, he told OwlScoop. Young is arguably the top 2018 prospect in Philadelphia and already holds offers from the likes of Wisconsin, Florida State and Michigan State. Temple extended an offer to Young back in August.

We speak your name.

Helluva game by our PG today. He's a warrior.

At the beginning of the season I was pretty nervous about having him run the show - but he exceeded expectations. We're lucky to have him for one more year.

Going to take a while to get over this loss.

It took me awhile to ponder how i feel after another letdown? Do I express my anger after another letdown from OneNDunphy ? Do i blame Danny Dingle for missing a foul shot from his off hand ? Or Jaylen for missing numerous 2 foot shots ?

No, instead i feel tragically sad for a group of overmatched warriors being thrown into an arena against taller, more talented,faster opponents. Sad because one person allows them to continually show up for street fights with a pea shooter.

How many times do you think these kids and fans have said subconsciously, " if we only had a (fill in the blank)". But they never have that one or two missing pieces to get over the top. Instead they are forced to overachieve.

All of this falls on the shoulders of one person who has massively underperformed for 10 years.

FRANCIS DUNPHY

Can't blame Dunphy for any coaching deficiencies in this one. He coached a great game, but we're always one or two players away. Giving up so many late game offensive rebounds was a killer, none more than the last one. Yea the Iowa player pushed off a bit on the last play, But Obi has to be tougher and stronger in that situation. Not sure about that kid's toughness. Can certainly understand Q's frustration on the last play with him. Obi's toughness is a big question moving forward. Honestly, I don't even think it's even a question anymore.

With all his limitations, Williams played a much tougher more fearless game than Obi did, unfortunately he just doesn't have the talent. Again, always a player or two away. Kudos to Decosey, Brown, and Bond. Those guys played with more heart than I've seen in a while. Especially Decosey. Making those 3 freethrows was unbelievable. For a senior, Coleman surely played poorly down the stretch.

Referees missed it

The post had an article about overachievers and underachievers in regard to coaches in the dance.It was based on seeds regular season and other metrics.The overs were izzo coach k and other high profile coaches.Not to beat a dead horse but the unders were i.dunphy.2 huggins. 3 dixon.
While i have no expectation for this weekend i feel this team overachieved.Hopefully dunphy can can improve on his numbers starting friday

Come on guys....stop being so meanie pants. The boys played their little hearts out and the Coachy Woaches tried really really hard too. We should all bake some cookies and send them down to the Loacouras Center with a note that says "Hey Team......thank you for trying so hardie pants for everybody". Go team!

I don't know what's wrong with you negative Nancy's. Franny tries weally weally hard!

And then we should all cancel our ****ing season tickets until the ****ing AD does something about this bullshit. And you can quote me. My name is John Longacre, not Papa Owl. Spelled JOHN, LONGACRE.

...Josh Brown is back for another year and with a competitor/leader like him - I like our chances.

Why was Dingle in the game with a hurt right wrist. Took a left handed foul shot!

From the beginning nobody gave you a chance, picked sixth in conference. The early season was lacking in victories, however the team found a way to bond and scratch out victory after victory, ultimately winning the AAC regular season championship. The final game was a microcosm of the regular season, a gutsy performance against a quality team in Iowa, a push or shove a different way and Temple would have been victorious and we all would be dreaming the NCAA dream.

You brought back pride to Temple provided the building blocks to a new future.

Thank You Seniors.

You always seek consistency and "one and Dunphy" has proven he is consistent to the max. In every NCAA tourney he can be counted on to exit as early as possible. And how will his impact his already stellar revruiting? Well enough said.

Essentially what many on this board have been saying. http://www.philly.com/philly/sports...ky__How_far_is_Temple_from_the_big_time_.html
