Temple hoops gets AAC its first upset: wild comeback vs. ranked FSU

[UCFProf]

Down 18 in the second half and by 16 with under 11 minutes to play, tied it up with 4 to go.
Unbeaten Houston barely held on Wed. against Vermont.
Don't forget to hurry back from USF game (or get out after watching on TV) to come out to the Seattle game. Should be plenty of good seats with it being holiday weekend. It's a fun team to watch after so much frustration with hapless Donny-ball. Women's team also doing amazingly!

They knocked off WV today.

They knocked off WV today.

Yeah. Temple looks very athletic. Their PG is very good.

Temple blew 20 pt half-time lead as W.Va. tied it with 10 minutes left. But Temple's big man took over again.
That's 2 ranked teams in a row! When's the last time an AAC team did that.
Meanwhile, SMU lost to 5-0 unranked USC and ECU lost to Mercer. Conference rolling up the losses.

Memphis didn't look very good against Providence tonight. Memphis had a 12 point lead in the first half. But Memphis has no half court offense. If you score on them / don't turn the ball over then they can't score. They lost.

And UConn has a couple of terrible losses. Bad record for them.

This may be the year for us to finish well in the AAC.

As a UCF BBALL ticket holder, that would be awesome! Next years team will be very promising as well. I hope AJ and Chance can make a speedy recovery.

AJ will be back this year barring a setback. Not sure about Chance.

Chad Brown needs to develop quickly. He added weight and strength during the offseason (now 230 lbs). It was nice to see him show off a new offensive move around the basket at Charleston. Now if he can just keep down all the silly fouls.
