Enjoy your regularly scheduled programming. Kid brain problems. JDC or Kyle feel free to delete this thread.

I’m going to say it’s just COVID year. Some really big names aren’t in the tourney this year or have horrible records and squeezed in.
I expect 18 wins next year and some bubble talk. No reason to not be optimistic. Talent level is solid and we have some very impressive freshman coming in like Hysier who should contribute write away. I’m not sure how good we will be defensively, but I do suspect we will be more exciting to watch offensively.

I also would like to see potential changes to assistant coaches sooner than later if next year is not 18 wins. We all know temple will not fire mckie right away given what he means to temple and Philly. So I suspect he will serve the remained of his contract. BUT he should be given a tough convo on his staff and getting some A+ recruiters. Howard at Michigan has an offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator too. This approach is becoming more common in college basketball.

My nephew goes to Elon, so I’m exited for him... They started 3-0, lost seven straight and now have won eight in a row, including three straight in the CAA tourney as an 8 seed. They play Drexel tonight for an NCAA berth. Screw the Philly ties, go Phoenix!

With that said, why not us? Go Owls!

Can people stop with the “run plays to get Barry open for three’s?” Yes, you could get him running around screens for open three’s but then he’d be JJ Reddick. There’s a reason he was at Dartmouth. Good guy to have in helter-skelter end of game situations when people are scrambling and leave him unguarded like today. Love to have him back though but hopefully not needed to play 25 minutes.

So much change and uncertainty surrounds this team it’s hard to make any kind of predictions, but with that said cast your vote.

No line yet but I'm hearing that Dunn will play. It'll be interesting to see if Yetna and/or Caleb Murphy play.

Temple tight end David Martin-Robinson will be with us on The Scoop when we record tomorrow. If you have questions for DMR or for us as a staff, please post them here and we'll get to as many as we can on the podcast. We'll take questions up until 4 p.m. tomorrow.

And if you haven't subscribed to the podcast yet, what are you waiting for?


Thank you all for listening and for submitting questions. It makes it fun for us and helps us gauge what you want from the podcast.

LB Lance Dixon has them on short list.

Dixon

Damian Dunn made the all-rookie team. Khalif Battle was named to the third team All-AAC squad. JP Moorman won the conference's sportsman award.

Jeremiah Williams somehow didn't make the all-rookie team despite being among the freshman league leaders in almost every category.

Hey everyone! I'll be taking mailbag questions for a Temple Hoops Q&A ahead of the conference tournament starting this week. Drop below any questions you have about this season, the conference tournament, the future or anything else you can think of and I'll do my best to get to all of them. Thank you!

Temple has made the Top 5 for 2019 power forward Chase Paar, according to Rivals.com's Corey Evans. Xavier, Nebraska, UMBC and George Mason also made Paar's Top 5.

Paar plays for Glenelg Country in Maryland for high school and on Team Thrill on the AAU circuit. Paar also had offers from schools like Kansas State, UMass and St. Bonaventure.

If you're looking for lots of good insight into the program and the offseason, then you'll enjoy this week's podcast and our interview with C.J. Perez. He talked about the players' leadership council, his early impressions of Georgia transfer D'wan Mathis, why Mariano Valenti shouldn't be counted out of the quarterback competition, what the Owls are getting in Northern Illinois transfer Weston Kramer. And he answered all of your mailbag questions, too.

Looks like the schedule is set.

20 conference games
Villanova
St. Joe's
La Salle
NJIT
URI
Virginia Tech

Home games are still up in the air. The city is making it really difficult to host with testing requirements above conference requirements. Could move games to the suburbs. Could be all road games.

Temple center C.J. Perez will be our guest on The Scoop this week. If you have mailbag questions for him or for us as a staff, please post them here and we'll get to as many as we can on the podcast.
