Horrible officiating at the end of the TU Dayton game. This may lead CBB to have a flopping call.
LaSalle, live by the 3 and they'll eventually die by it. Nice to see Mills wake up after just and awful season for him. It would be nice if he hit some 3's v. better competition.
Alright, alright, alright!

LaSalle blew a 57-46 or 48 lead last night and got a little lucky. The Bonnies caught a break when LaSalle fouled on the floor up by 3. The ref called in the act of shooting a 3, even though the player wasn't shooting and actually pumped faked once before he shot. How could he be fouled in the act of shooting if he pumped faked before he shot? He missed the 1st 2 and made the 3rd when he was trying to miss.
A sell-out at the Palestra on Saturday. I'm taking my son to his 1st Palestra game. He was asking why it's so great to see a game there? I said the atmosphere. He said what? I said you'll see when you're there. Best place to ever see a basketball game. I was conceived and born there during a triple header.

your son should have an awesome time. there is nothing like a sold out Palestra with half the tickets to both sides. i too went to many palestra games as a kid and have so many great memories. i just hope my hawks can stay close. i don't see the hawks having much of a chance to win. we can't guard the explorers. only hope is to pound them inside and hope lasalle misses a lot but i don't see it.
totally. how cool was that? and for a kid it was awesome to get a chance to throw them a couple of times. remember when the names on the scoreboard had to be changed with the big long suction stick when they had doubleheaders? as a kid always wanted to get to do that.

That was neat. I also remember being in the concourse in between games and everyone was smoking but I was under most of the smoke.

This Temple team is a disgrace. The 3 home losses and the loss to St Joe's are just embarrassing. This team started 9-1 I think and the season has tanked. Dunphy has proven a mediocre recruiter and has done a terrible job getting this team to have any chemistry on either side of the court. He looks disconnected out there, consistently waiting way too long to call timeouts to stall the other team's momentum. And after timeouts the team comes out and has nothing creative to run. I'm ready for a change.
I almost hope Lasalle beats us on Thursday - this Temple team has no right to share the Big 5 title. Maybe we'll get hot in the NIT. :roll:

Love the Big 5. Love the Palestra. My high school beat Boyertown at the Palestra to win the PIAA District 1 title in 77. Greatest game I ever saw there was Villanova defeating an Arkansas team that included Alvin Robertson and Joe Kleine . Arkansas was top 5 in the nation at the time . The Palestra is a cathedral that every college basketball fan should visit at least once.

vaguely remember Yo-Yo as I was in single digits around his time, but know plenty of the stories.

I was the Nova-Arkansas game as well. Was in high school at the time. think it was a sunday afternoon if i recall.
best non-city team i ever saw at the Palestra was Duke in 1986 with Johnny Dawkins, Tommy Amaker, Jay Bilas, David Henderson and Mark Alarie. They lost in the Final 4 that year to Kansas. they were spectacular.
saw UNLV with Larry Johnson play Temple at the Spectrum. That was the best non-philly team i ever saw play live. sat in almost the last row for that game...which led me to turning down tickets to the Duke-Kentucky greatest game ever because the tickets offered were in one of the last rows. :fp:

so how did your son enjoy the game? as a Hawk fan wasn't all that enjoyable for me but still love a packed Palestra. good win for LaSalle. I think they actually have a chance to win the A10 regular season with their wins over Butler and VCU get any tie breakers. Always loved Duren's game and he was fantastic yesterday. He is always in control. so calm and cool with the ball, rarely makes a mistake and his shot looks so clean every time.

Apparently Temple has set some sort of NCAA record by playing in 5 straight one-point games.

took nova until the 2nd half to wake up tonight...james bell was clutch from 3 point land again. he's reminding me a lot of dwayne anderson. pinkston with a monster dunk towards the end.
not pretty. but a win's a win. can't believe there's only 4 left...
mike rice...what i wouldn't give to punch that man in the face.

It's kind of hard not to enjoy it when you win. I miss that place. My son loved it. LaSalle had too many of those rollouts, quality over quantity. I wish Duren would take control more often. He tends to hid or disappear sometimes, which is puzzling. We have no one that can cover Kanacevic. That's the one thing LaSalle lacks is a versatile big man. 5 games left, with TU and St. Louis. I'd like to go 4-1 but the A-10 has been tough for everyone. I'm trying to make plans for a possible Brooklyn trip.
Alright, alright, alright!

4-1 probably gets you 2nd place at worst if the one is St. Louis. gonna miss the tourny in AC. no plans to go to Brooklyn and not just because my hawks stink. kind of a pain to head to brooklyn since a one-day trip up is a little too long especially if you try and do it on consectutive days and staying would be expensive. went most years to AC for the friday session which was always a great time and not too difficult to head back on saturday if wanted to.

Ugh. My son had a game last night. I checked the score when it was 23-22 LaSalle. Saw the half-time score that TU was up 14-15 points. Got in the car when it was a 19 point and listened to it grow to 22. I got home when it was down to 12. I don't understand why DR. G wouldn't have at least 1 big man in for rebounding. A disappointing loss but not devastating unless they don't win their next 3 before St. Louis. I guess it's not hard to get a career high in rebounds when you're boxing out 6-1 and 6-2 guards for an entire half.
