I love Temple in the Final 4, Am I crazy?

[OverUnder]

I mean look at their path, The Cornell game will be a grinder but they have won grinders consistently in the past. Wisconsin and Wofford Sucks, I think Kentucky slips up in the Sweet 16 after they convincingly beat Texas, so they overlook Temple. Kentucky also has no experience as Wall, Cousins, and Bledsoe are all 19 years old. Then in the elite 8, WVU, Marquette, New Mexico do not scare me at all with this pick. Obviously it will be a close game with all of these opponents, but I really am confident about having them in the Final 4 for my bracket.

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

temple looks strong

[No coincidences]

I don't think they have enough underneath.

I'm also worried about how they'd play in catch-up mode.

[Soxsfan9]

They look solid, but Final 4 is asking alot from them.

[ghn999]

good luck with that pick.

[JBQB107]

ehhh thats pushing it

[newjerseydevils]

yeah i agree maybe elite 8 but final 4 is kinda pushing it....but you never know...thats why they call it march madness.......good luck anyways

[thebertshow]

I don't think so

[2daBank]

yea i got them either losing in the 1st round or going pretty far

[momiles]

yea not happen kansas st has easiest road to final four

[2daBank]

yea not happen kansas st has easiest road to final four

how is that got anything to do with this thread k-st in a totally dif bracket and i agree they got it set up nicely for them

[floridagolfer]

I can very easily see Temple in the FF. But if you want convince me the Owls don't make the regional final, I can see an argument there as well.

[princesspolamalu]

Everybody is on Cornell so Im going with Temple! Good Luck!!

[chisox19]

don't think they can beat kentucky there to big

[BIGDAY]

Kentucky is WAY too talented. Lets not kid ourselves.

[LT Profits]

I have them losing to Cornell in the first round, so yes, you're crazy.

[LT Profits]

Kentucky is WAY too talented. Lets not kid ourselves.

Kentucky won't get past Elite Eight, no way they beat West Virginia.

[mwalsh6190]

[itchypickle]

Cornell rolls them!

[ROYAJA8]

TEMPLE will win it all yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh h

[Chugs]

Kentucky won't get past Elite Eight, no way they beat West Virginia.

I see a lot of people riding high on WV, but from the few games ive watch them play this year im not impressed ... They are one of the worst shooting teams ive seen all year. Maybe i just caught them on some bad nights, but what do you see in them.

[BNasty2]

Final four ? No

I agree with 2dabank comment. If they get past Cornell they should win a couple of games.
Note: I think they play good defense, but they lack aggressiveness at times. I believe its one an done!

[Checkerboard]

owls have been good to bettors so far this year that's for sure!

[whatsgood5]

Living in Ithaca, I can't comment on this with anything other than a biased opinion, but I like Cornell to "upset" them in the first round.

[Kustac]

I don't see it, you'd need Temple to win two good games the first weekend and then catch Kentucky looking ahead to West Virginia, and also beat West Virginia or a team that upsets WVU (as I think they may well get upset somewhere before the elite 8), this is just too many big "IF THIS THEN THIS"

[Serbone]

Can beat a lot of teams, on any day, but not enough offense to get that far...
Tough to win that many against quality foes with mediocre offense.
"A" defense, "C+" offense.
Will be a good dog if they win a few, and get some points, I do not think anyone will blow them out.

[cecil127]

owls over cornell, yes.
owls to the ff-no.

[RJ89]

First of all, I really like them to beat Cornell. They probably would beat Wisconsin too. However they don't have enough offense to have a good chance against Kentucky who I think should be able to shut them down when it matters most. Even in the longshot case they beat Kentucky, I think they will probably lost to West Virginia. Personally I think it will be Kentucky vs. West Virginia and whoever wins that game will make the championship game.

And second of all, I have know way of knowing whether you are crazy or not. This is a terrible way of diagnosing whether someone is crazy or has a mental condition. If we looked at everyone in America's brackets, and this was a legit way to diagnose someone as crazy, then we would have to lock up tens of thousands in mental institutions.

[suckerforparlays]

Theres nothing wrong with that. Anybody can make it!

[alwcb]

Im in the no way they beat kentucky group

[Cuse0323]

Love Temple, but doubt it.

[mugsey15]

I agree with KSU having easiest road. As a Big XII fan and huge Jayhawk fan I would love that if KU and KSU could play each other one more time this year. Here's to wishing it to come true

[GiveMeaBJ]

They don't have one player that can take over a game. That will hurt them in the tournament. Not to mention they can't score. Also, you are overrating them based on them playing an A-10 schedule. Let's remember what they did out of conference. They lost to Georgetown and scored just 45 points, they only beat a down Siena team by 4, they lost to St. Johns and scored 48 points, they only beat Penn State by 3 and scored 45 points, and they got plastered 84-52 by Kansas.

Is that really the resume of a great team? Sure they beat Villanova but we all know Nova is very underrated and their problems with defense made that game very winnable for the Owls. I think teams like New Mexico and Kentucky in that bracket will give them fits. But I have them going out in the first round after Cornell heats up from 3 and puts them down 10 and they can never recover.

[2PLAYSMAX]

Temple can definitely make it to the 2nd weekend. It sure would be an offensive game between Temple & Wisky in the 2nd round, probably a ov/un of 100..lol

[TheCommish]

Temple should do well, but they cannot beat WV or Kentucky.
