The Dregs of the AAC

[mauconnfan]

Who just beat the #23 team in the country on the court we play them on next week. You are tempting the mojo with posts like yours.

Thanks CA kinda where I was going the whole time…….

Jerry does come up with a number that is whacked as that's awful defense but they have played better at home against some good teams and actually have some real nice talent. Weird situation but one that came together the other night and one we don't want to repeat……..ten toes in!

Anyone know that status of Anthony Lee, Temple's PF? He missed their last game with a knee injury. They only played 7 guys against SMU.

The coaches agreed not to shave until they lose.

Should we hope that they never lose so he can join the Red Sox?

Honestly ... part of the definition of a DREG should be that they have no attendance and no fanbase. No one cares. Temple has a really lively energetic crowd. All in their colors. We (UCONN) haven't ever really had the type of season they're having (and it is noteworthy because they also have a step-up in competition) and the Roster is a clear ding on Dunphy and/or the AD as they entered to play this league. I expect the one year performance will not be a predictor of future performance.

Isn't it typical Temple though, their basketball program finally joins the conference and it immediately craters. The next good thing Temple does for this conference will be the first good thing Temple does for this conference.

We beat them by 24 last month. They are not good, even at home they are 3 and 7.

They are 2-10 and not having a good year at all….."Dreg" they are not, not Temple. Be careful is all I can say…...

There is a distinction between teams that are having awful seasons, and Temple certainly qualifies, and teams that are the dregs of college basketball. When you look at teams like Houston who hasn't been any good since the Reagan Administration, that is a whole different catagory of dregs. Or South Florida which has had 1 pretty good season in its history. Or Rutgers, which hasn't had a decent team since Nixon, and is in New Jersey to boot. Temple isn't one of those kind of programs.

Temple is certainty a very solid basketball program with a great history, they are just a bad team this year.

Oh and I was wrong there is one team that is rated worse defensively from a power conference, just one, Boston College checking it at 324 out of 351 schools

Go STANGS!

Yeah I just saw the SMU cheer squad and there were some tall guys running around on the court.

I'm with you Pudge.

More to the point: if Temple is truly a dreg of this conference the conference is stronger than anything we've ever seen.
