Is Temple going to be able to put huge runs on decent or better opponents and blow games open? Villanova has had runs of 22-0, 13-0, and 34-2 in their last TWO GAMES. I don't see it from Temple and without the offensive firepower, games are either going to be close lower scoring affairs, or losses where they can't score for long periods. Also, they seem ill-equipped to take advantage of the new fouling rules. Quick point guards who drive to the basket, and big physical inside players will benefit. Temple really has neither, and our physical inside player is a career 35% foul shooter. Couple that with the lack of depth, and the new rules would seem to inhibit any chance that this team had to be good. We also seem to have a very hard time defending without fouling.
