Major trap game: late tip, on the road, against a team that is ostensibly terrible but just beat a top-25 team and is feeling awesome about themselves.

I think Temple comes out strong, but we ultimately weather the push and take a 4-point lead into halftime. We pull away some in the second half. A few late runs cause some hand-wringing in the chatroom, but we ultimately win by 10.

UConn 75-65 Temple.

I think it will be just the opposite. No late Temple run. Close until the last 5 minutes or so when we finally pull away for good.

I'm so disinterested by the bottom half of this conference i cant begin to think of a score prediction. Here's to hoping the team is more focused than I am! Can't afford Houston round II at this point in the season

Better prediction question Does Pat Lenehan get more points than his GPA?

I agree. Potential trap game. Owls are at home at on-campus venue, probable big student turnout, and coming off major win over SMU. As badly as they played at our place, they showed ability to keep coming back and made a couple of runs.

I'm looking at a 73-64 final for us, but needing Shabazz and Boat at the line to close it out. Big game from DeAndre---both rebounding as well as scoring---could make it easier.

That game played out more or less as I thought it would. Temple put up a fight but didn't really have the horses. Never really got closer than 5 early in the 2nd half then we gradually pulled away. On to the next one.
