Regardless. A 7-11 Big 12 team has no business making the tourney and they made it with ease as a 9 seed. The Big 12 is lousy this year and generally overrated every year. Kansas is a great program but there is a reason they won 14 straight conference championships, and while that's impressive, it has more to do with the conference than them being some unbeatable juggernaut. Even if Temple stinks, I'd rather see them on principle alone.

Temple has more individual talent, but Belmont is the better team. Temple has zero inside presence, offensively and defensively.

That's been abundantly clear the past few minutes. Belmont can score at will inside.

Temple was playing good D, getting steals, getting into transition, and Belmont missed a couple shots. Temple took control of the game.

Then Temple put it's subs in. Oof. Missed defensive assignments, throwing the ball away. 0 threat to score. Reminded me of UConn.

So Belmont settled down and hit 2 layups/inside shots. Temple couldn't get out in transition. They had to play in the half court, and then Rose would do a spin move and force a floater, it'd miss, Alston missed 4 straight 3s, and Belmont would come down and hit a 3. Game over.

Don't be surprised if the AAC goes 0-4 in this tourney. None of the teams were really that good.

Looks like Dunphy will be done tonight. Belmont is the far better coached team in this game...very tough and disciplined. Temple is a train wreck.

If you thought Temple was a train wreck when forced to execute in the halfcourt...you just wait for Houston.

How bad do you have the be to finish in 9th in this league?

UCF can’t make a FT which may doom them if the kid from VCU is healthy. That’s a literal toss up. Houston is going to win at least a game, and I think Cincinnati will get at least one too.

If Cinci dumps that game to Iowa... yuck.

Candace Parker is an analyst now for espn?

She's on TruTV tonight, not ESPN. She was a studio analyst for them throughout the tourney last year as well.
