On Junior Galette, His Cousins & Bonehead Moves

According to the linked article below, Galette is rooming in a New Orleans suburb with former Temple teammate Terrance Banks; who is Galette's cousin.

The article also reports that Galette was kicked off the Temple team back in the late 2000's, in part, because another visiting cousin stole a laptop while visiting him on campus. I always wondered what happened with Galette. I'll never forget him soaring over an opponent to block a punt. The guy was destined for athletic success.

Well, it appears that Galette and a cousin are once again in trouble. According to a police report, a woman victim made the following statement about Galette and Banks "They was both on me and I couldn't breathe. I couldn't fight both of them."

Bad Losses

We have one bad loss so far that could come back to haunt us, the St. Joe's game. Yes, the team that is currently predicted to end up at 180 in the RPI just lost to 250 RPI Duquesne. We do have the Morgan factor working in our favor to somewhat mitigate that loss. But what we need to avoid is another bad loss. That means we can't lose to any of USF, E. Carolina, Houston and our other game versus UCF. I still think we need to finish in the top 3 of the conference and win at least 22 games to be on the right side of the bubble. Definitely doable but that means going at least .500 against UConn, SMU, Cincy, Tulsa and Memphis. The next 3 games are really big for us, this is the toughest 3 game stretch we face the rest of the way.

SAME FORMULA TO WIN GAMES

This Temple team is sometimes very hard to watch with balls clanking of the rim and seeing halves where they shoot 20% . It is very ugly . It clearly reminds me of some of the John Chaney teams [ in fact most of the John Chaney teams ] that couldn't hit the ocean while standing on the waters edge . This team is resurrecting the same old Chaney like formula .

Play great defense , don't turn the ball over , shoot half decently from the line and close out games . They are doing it playing 95% of the time in a man to man and they can because they have ten playable players . Chaney did it playing 95% zone and didn't have the bench .

The games are like watching kids throwing paint at a canvas and it looks ugly but it finally turns into a Picasso . Same formula !!!

Lavin

As long as we're posting inflammatory updates I just thought it might be worth noting that the hack that so many love to compare unfavorably to Dunphy currently has the Johnnies sitting at 11-1 and ranked #17 in the country with their only loss being a very respectable setback to Gonzaga. Just sayin...
