@IrritatedOwl The more I watch of the tournament the more I’m convinced that the biggest difference between Temple and many of these teams is coaching. Outside of a few elite teams, our talent level is not that far off, if at all, from much of the field.
@IrritatedOwl When Tulsa finally went up late in the game I was ready to turn it off. That’s how much faith I have in Fish to get it done when coaching really matters.
@theowlsoutlet Fisher is just a symptom of institutional malaise. Should he lose his job? Of course, but unless you fire the AD and get a commitment from the university leadership you will always have Adam Fishers running the basketball program.
Bad loss for the Owls. Totally outhustled by North Texas. Visitors imposed their will. Temple left a ton of points at the free throw line. With two straight losses, Owls are in danger of falling into the middle of the pack in the American.
@IrritatedOwl I don’t disagree about North Texas defensive effort but you hate to see a team not guarding its house. Maybe a teaching moment in preparation for the tourney.
@IrritatedOwl The common denominator in all of this is Nick. I have been a supporter of Nick but usually, when there’s this much smoke, there’s also fire. And now you have to wonder if Dickerson’s contemplated retirement is related in part to Stout leaving.
@kayleighmcenany@SatAmericaFNC I was wondering why no funds were given to The Salvation Army, one of the largest profits in the state. Those funds would have been distributed 100 percent to the families.
@sethjoyner This falls on Patullo and Nick. They share responsibility for the offensive woes, KP for the play calling and Nick for handing the keys to the Ferrari to a CDL driver. No way should a $150 million offensive payroll struggle to score 19 points against the Niners.
@jdicarlo And he would have gotten those points if Cam Wallace hadn’t been selfish and tried to score on a contest layup compounding it by missing both free throws.
@IrritatedOwl As someone who covered the Big 5 during its glory years and former President of the Herb Good Club Temple basketball is in my blood. Unfortunately, we have fallen almost to a point of irrelevancy and I’m not sure whether I should be frustrated, hurt or angry.
