Is anyone watching how Temple is handling the seemingly unbeatable press of WVU so far?

I think 15% is WVU not being as fresh as yesterday. Temple hasn't panicked, they have a PG who can dribble, and all 5 players are mobile. Also quick passing to players cutting into the gaps. We tried to dribble through a press, Temple is relying on passing.

Anybody watching how Temple is beating WVU 33-20 right now? I think they know how to break a press and they only had 1 full day to prepare. (Unlike 3 months...)

Man, Temple is up by twenty points now. They make it look easy.

Temple is pounding WVU. WVU doesn't look like the same team like yesterday, wondering if they punched themselves out beating the crap of the Illini yesterday.

I checked the box score. Looks like Temple has a guy who is absolutely going off, too.

I agree, especially with the passing out of the press. They do not hesitate to get it out of their hands as soon as they see it coming.

Up by 20 at the half. That is way too telling.

Looks like MSU looked deep inside and pulled out a W. If they learn from this early-season school of hard knocks, they are going to be pretty scary, even by Izzo standards.

Temple showing WVU why you don't see the full court press in college so much. At this level they can break the press and have easy baskets.

Spoke too soon on Temple. WVU press destroying them in the second half. Looking much like we did this half.

Temple showed some guts and came back to win after blowing that big lead and even falling behind late. No quit in that TEAM.

One good thing about marrying a Butler girl is that I've become a Butler fan. They are currently giving Arizona everything they can handle.

It's nice to be a legit fan of a basketball team that is good. I just hope my Illini will be there one day.
