A pack of us young alums (and one senior) will be in attendance.

[02hoya]

Contemplating the trip down from NYC. Anyone else heading down to Philly for this game?

[TBird41]

Temple will be the best defense we've faced so far, according to Kenpom. They rank 8th overall in Adj. D--Old Dominion is the only other opponent we've played that's in the top 25 (they're 23rd) or even the top 50 in Adj. D.

Of course, we will be far and away the best offense Temple has played this season. We're 5th overall in Adj. O. The next best offense Temple has seen? Texas A&M, who ranks 45th, and who Temple lost to. Maryland won't change this statement, since their offense is only 50th overall.

[prhoya]

And Austin will not have two off games from 3...

[pahoyafan1]

Me and my wife are heading down from the Scranton area. This is by far my favorite team since 07. Should be a really good game. Heard this is a great arena to see a game.

[seaweed]

Hope the refs swallow their whistles in this one - would love to see how the team holds up in a Philly brawl.

Hope Jabril will get a seat near the bench?

[alleninxis]

Jabril will indeed be in attendance unless something changes.


I expect an ugly game again this year due to Dunphy/III power struggle with their familiarity. Need to push the pace this time around with the press.

[hobokenhoya]

I'll be there with the wife as well. Is there a pregame? ahhh, college.

[lancasterhoyafan]

I'm there as well.

[BigMike]

I'll be there plus 2.

[vcjack]

I'll be in the section behind the Hoyas bench w/ the ladyfriend

[MassHoya]

Very happy this game is on ESPN2 rather than ESPNU. Picture quality is much better. Anyone know who the announcers are?

[daytonahoya31]

This will be a great test for us inside...Lavoy Allen is as good a frontcourt guy as we're gonna see this season

[williambraskyiii]

Booo...stay on ESPNU...I'd stay on all season if we kept playing the way we've been playing.

As for Temple, they've underperformed a bit this year but they are awfully tough. Allen is a very good player who gave us trouble last year IIRC.

Temple plays Maryland tonight---so will be interesting to see how they fare against Terps and if Gary Williams presses them--how they respond. Like Fran Dunphy/think he's a good coach and agree with Alleninxis, PRESS THEM to CREATE TEMPO--it gets the team going and is good way for this year's team to get more involved defensively.

[joey0403p]

I was about to ask if the template v MD game was on tv in the DC area...ahahhahaha of course it is - its the terps.

I wish we had a TV contract ala MD and Comcast.

I really hope Temple wins tonight.

[JS]

I will attend this basketball game.

[lichoya68]

[jahidihoya]

After spending most of last season abroad I am happy to report that Jahidi will be there! Got a seat about 6 rows off the court right at center court. Picked it up this week on the Temple basketball website. It will be nice to wear the mask again!
