    USF could be a solid ML play vs. Temple

    Is Temple the most overseeded team in the tourney?

    USF hasn't lost to a non-tourney team since Nov. 20. One of the tougher hard nosed teams in the tournament....and not just because of tonight....I posted that this game stood out as an easy play

    Disagree on a 5 point spread.

    I'd guess Temple -2.5

    Overreaction? Nah... defense wins in the tournament. We'll see what it opens at... If it opens at 4 it'll go down.

    Cant agree enough but you still have to use the power ratings which arent high on usf. They match up well with temple too

    I had whomever emerged from last night to win against Temple. Owls don't play defense.

    Same here, I waited til last night to fill my bracket out just to make sure they won but I should have known it wasnt even going to be a sweat since the PAC 12 is that bad.

    I think temple is the most overrated #5 seed in a while, shocked they were seated so high. A real slap in the face to all Florida Gator fans around the country. USF should roll.

    complete misquote on my part. Sagarin says 2. Thought they were higher on Temple. I'd lean towards Temple though. Temple has struggled the past few years, think they come out super focused and win a game AND then not show up in the next game. Tough to bet against USF though

    couldnt believe, after the way they played in the first half, they were only down 19-15.....i was shocked really

    then they came out great in the 2nd half...and i almost shit my pants when temple went 11-0 run...changed the channel.....checked the score ....looks like they fended temple off pretty good...i just couldnt handle to watch...had purdue tonight and colorado last night....too many nerves....although ive had some nice easy winners with nc st and florida.....down a couple bucks in the tourney so far but with an above .500 record....

    ya uva came out real strong in the first few minutes....then it was all gators.....just dont think that team has enough depth...especially down low...erik murphy is a bench guy imo.....i like young, beal, boynton, and walker though.....uva isnt a team that boynton and walker could really get off against....but if those two get hot....watch out
