    Nice win for the Explorers. Beating a bad team the way your supposed to and nice to see some defensive effort for the 1st time in years. Galloway, Wright and Duren looked good. One more game before X.
    Have a good new year Big 5 people.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Explorers definitely much improved this year. Going to be interesting to see how they end up in the A10.

    have a great and safe New Year everyone.

    Big game for LaSalle v. X tomorrow. X is still reeling from that brawl. Hopefully LaSalle can pull this off. I'd be going but my son has a basketball game as well.

    pjhawks - I didn't make it to the Buffalo game - my little guy had to go back to the hospital (all is well). My buddy said the Owls were dominated down low and the officiating was horrible (not necessarily biased, just bad, like clueless bad).

    Owls also just barely beat Delaware. Scootie is probably red shirting. Don't know when Eric is coming back. Yeah, it's not pretty. At least we're only playing Duke tomorrow. :roll:

    Yeah I was there. I really didn't think we had a chance to be honest, with the lack of depth down low. I was right in a way, because those giant white guys just killed the Owls all game. But nobody else on their team did anything, and the Owls really were just the better team - the 5 point differential was misleading in that the game wasn't really that close.

    Wyatt made a couple 3's towards the end, the 2nd one being one of those "no don't take that shot, what are you doing? yeah! it went in!" shots.

    One of the most satisfying sports events I've been to. But the crowd court storming was WAY out of control. It looked like somebody got hurt maybe. I must be getting cranky in my old age. :lol: Duke must get annoyed that fans storm the court whenever they lose. Oh well, fuck 'em. :mrgreen:

    Now we just need to not have a let down in the A-10 opener vs. Dayton, which is usually a tough game.

    Really good night for Temple, obviously. Even better that Xavier lost to Lasalle, so the Owls could have a good shot at finally winning a regular season A-10 title, especially with playing Xavier at home this year. :D

    great win johnny. dunph is the man. lose guys and keeps on winning. for a team that has seemed to struggle at times record is pretty good and now a huge scalp. the wyatt shot was the killer and was about 30 feet. i love wyatt and moore's games. they got iron balls those 2. and seems like storming the court to you is like people wearing jerseys to me? :lol:

    great win for LaSalle too. Xavier has lost their moxy since the fight. they looked very timid tonight. lasalle has some talent on the wings and are really playing well as a team for the 1st time in years. they could be dangerous.

    hawks overcame a 16-point deficit in the last 7 minutes to eek out an overtime win at duquesne. sounded like a horrible effort by the hawks until the end. only good thing is that it's a win and a road win in the league. now at 11-4.

    Sure, leave it to Dunphy to steal LaSalle's thunder. The Big 5 was representing last night. Great win for LaSalle. I'm not sure how to feel because they haven't had a win like that in a while. I know X has been struggling since the brawl but fuck it. I'll take it.

    I hate Dook, always a soft team. Coach K and his legion of minion assistant coaches can suck it.
    Alright, alright, alright!

    Dayton just lost their 2nd best player with an ACL injury for the rest of the year.

    I'm sure they will still bring it. Although Dayton is usually really tough to beat in their barn, but not so much when they're on the road (I think the Owls slaughtered them 2 years ago).

    Did LaSalle storm the court last night? I liked the scene at WTF Center, just didn't want anyone (especially a player, a la Pepe Sanchez) to get hurt.

    Haha. I didn't notice any court storming but it would be more difficult because; a: not enough fans and b: no seats on the ends of the court.

    i won't lie johnny...i had duke -5.5 in the 2nd half. :lol: ...only a small play though. going large on the sixers eased that loss. and it became apparent quickly that i was gonna lose so i rooted for temple regardless.

    so that's 3 years in a row knocking off a top 10 team now?
