So strange to read an opposing board where they respect us so much

 

No offense here Gomez because you are certainly not alone, but damn, have some self-respect and respect on the university you attended. Expect to win. Bitch loudly when you lose (start becoming a losing program). 

[greenminer]

We are not stopping Mashburn, and we aren't doing anything offensively from the outside.

If we can disrupt Mashburn and start hitting some threes, we can get back into this

Temple 19 ---------- NT 16

 

7:52 to go

 

The defense is settling in and we're slowly reeling them in.

[NorthTexasWeLove]

How is the crowd for those in attendance? 

[CMJ]

Temple 24 ---------- NT 22

 

2:38 to go

 

We've had a few chances to retake the lead, but couldn't get that bucket.  Defense is really frustrating them - the Owls went over six minutes without a basket.

Halftime

 

Managed to push our nose in front.  If we could make some treys I'd feel a lot better!

Wright with 0 points so far.  We need to get him going. 

[greenminer]

Gut check time.  Do we continue this run, and possibly pull away? Or does Temple make some adjustments that work?

Their coach has surprised me, going back to last season.  Forgot that they made the AAC 'ship final.  He's doing good things.  Not part of a lineage that I am familiar with.  (but they seem to have problems with UAB.  I'm guessing matchup issues)

[Tom McKrackin]

This may be the best team we have played all season.  I am very impressed with their size.  We look small comparatively.

They probably saw the Memphis game and wanted to figure out how to duplicate that from Wright.

He looks like Dello got him sick.

Yeah, pretty concerning. Another big game and he's sort of....

[CMJ]

NT 39 ---------- Temple 32

 

15:50 to go

 

Wright got one to drop and the defense continues to constrict the Owls.

[UNTFan23]

The Pit starting to get some electric atmosphere going on. NT on a 7-0 run.

[Tom McKrackin]

We seem to have them on the ropes.  Need aTtinman to pop another 3 and tighten up the noose.

[CMJ]

NT 43 ---------- Temple 32

 

14:50 to go

 

Keep plugging away, I think another 4-6 minutes of this and Temple may capitulate.

[CMJ]

NT 48 ---------- Temple 41

 

10:49 to go

 

Mashburn had missed twelve straight, but now it seems like he may be "back."  This timeout came a a good time.

[TheColonyEagle]

“Temple won’t go away”

seriously 

[CMJ]

NT 53 ---------- Temple 47

 

7:50 to go

 

We're keeping them at bay, but now that Mashburn is out of his funk, their offense is running much better.

Looks like more Temple Owl fans in attendance than SMU fans at the last Pony home game I attended.

[CMJ]

NT 55 ---------- Temple 51

 

5:20 to go

 

Need Wright to make some shots.  Lorient has been carrying us tonight with some nice help from Sissoko and Floyd.

[CMJ]

NT 62 ---------- Temple 56

 

3:14 to go

 

Time to get the maalox.  Gonna be a stressful homestretch.

[greenminer]

Temple is hanging in their with these 2nd chance points.  Honestly, pretty upset that we are not getting to those rebounds first.

[Travis]

This is a fun game. And if I see the hot flash commercial one more time I am gonna lose it.
