It’s Time to Cut Our Losses with Aaron McKie

It’s time to end the Aaron McKie experiment in Philadelphia.  Midway through his fourth season as head coach of the Owls, and the only thing I’ve seen so far is regression culminating in an 8 point home loss to Maryland Eastern Shore.  For a little context, UMES entered this game with 4 wins on the …

Early December AAC Rankings

I have some time to kill so I figured I would rank the basketball schools in the American. This league has a few good teams and plenty of bad ones. As of now the AAC is looking like a two bid league but I still believe Temple will make the NCAA Tournament as the third …

Wagner @ Temple Preview

The long-awaited start to the Temple basketball season is finally here!  Temple opens the season at home at 7pm tonight against the visiting Wagner Seahawks.  Right off the bat, the probable starters for Temple are bit surprising.  We should expect to see Damian Dunn, Hysier Miller, Jahlil White, Zach Hicks, and Jamille Reynolds.  The biggest …

2022-2023 Season Predictions

We are less than a month away from college basketball finally returning from what feels like the longest offseason ever, and I could not be happier.  Last season ended in such an ugly and unsatisfying way, and I’m excited see how the Owls perform in what should finally be a normal season.  We will get …
