I think I hear an Owl a Temple Owl.

 

[BigD]

No looking past anyone!!!!!!!

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Any Intel on Temple? I know nothing on them

 

[PCHawk]

Sucks we have to play in Kansas bracket.

 

[Iahwk06]

Tough bracket to be in

 

[DrKnipe]

punishment for the collapse

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Temple is playing fairly close to home.

 

[BigD]

Traditionally a mid-power team. If they played in the B1G I would think they would finish fifth, sixth, or seventh on an annual basis. So this game could be tough especially given our recent struggles. I see the committee was just talking about this matchup and they are kind of iffy but chose us.

 

[CarfinoFan]

I like the Hawks bracket and Clark Kellogg says Iowa into the sweet 16. That would be amazing.

Fran vs. Fran

Our Fran going back to New York.

 

[PCHawk]

Villanova has been suckling in tournaments lately
Is that good for us or does it mean they're due?

 

[Stanzi]

Welp, our opponent doesn't really matter, since we wouldn't even beat Southern Mississippi Northwest Community College. At least losing to Temple won't be an upset.

 

[mopkins]

Temples offense is really really bad. But they don't turn it over

 

[99topdawg]

They lead the nation in TO/game, but they don't force any either (306th in TO forced/game).

 

[PCHawk]

Temples offense is really really bad. But they don't turn it over

So you're saying they will shoot lights out against us?

 

[99topdawg]

So you're saying they will shoot lights out against us?

My thoughts exactly. I was looking at their stats. They don't shoot, don't rebound, don't get to the line, don't force TO's, and will do all of that against us.

 

[QuadCityHawkeye]

Iowa needs to run Temple out of the gym.

except when they play us they will do all of them things very well

Does that mean we are gonna have a blood battle to see who plays the worst on offense as we recently have showed we play at the level of our competition until the last two minutes of the game?

I see they are talking about our matchup for the third time and some changing their minds and picking Temple. I agree though with one of them who says Iowa is a battle proven team compared to the level of competition they had to play compared to Temple.

The goal should be to break last year's winning margin record set against Davidson. Wouldn't that be something. Iowa is the much better team in this one, Temple won't be able to keep up with Iowa in transition.
