Temple-Lafayette 11/21

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Everyones going to be talking about the Lehigh-Lafayette football game the next day but this is a pretty cool hoops matchup. First and foremost i get to hate on the 'Pards two straight days. How cool is that? Maybe i should camp out on the hill that night? Anyway, i'm almost certaintly going to drive down next Friday to go to the Temple game. My question for our spotted friends is, is the game going to sellout? Should i order my tickets online? How crazy is campus going to be that night regarding parking etc. I'm impressed Lafayette was able to get Temple to come to the fieldhouse. Although Lehigh is hosting St. Joe's this year.

Fran Dumphy is best friends with Fran O'Hanlon, i'm sure that had a lot to do with Temple coming to the Hill. The game will probably be close to a sellout, so you may want to get tix in advance (just call the ticket office and pick up at will call, they will get you with $7 service charge ordering online). Campus will certainly be buzzing the day before the big game and parking will be a challenge but not impossible. Too bad this game is right before Lafayette-Lehigh, it takes away from it a bit.

Aight Spotted ones, the stage is set for the OTHER big game on the hill this weekend.
Temple 2-1
ETSU 79-65 W
College of Charleston 70-65 W
Clemson 76-72 L

Lafayette 2-0
Wagner 73-67 W
Stony Brook 80-71 W

I don't see anyway Lafayette will be able to stop Christmas and company. The Owls are very athletic and can run you out of the building. I don't see anyway Lafayette keeps this within 15.

Anyone going to the game? I'm ordering my ticket tomorrow.

I have friends from Temple that wanted to come up for the game and I was going to go over for it but ahh there might be more important things to do this weekend.

By the way, Temple by 14.

I'll be going out to State College on December 6th to see Temple play PSU. Should be close.

Got back from Lafayette a little while ago. Temple kept Lafayette in the game early but finally got a double digit lead with 2 minutes left in the 1st Half. Lafayette had no answer for Dionte Christmas although they do have some decent outside shooting. Temple brought a good following to The Hill which made it a good atmosphere. A small TU student contident even broke out a "Let's Go Lehigh" chant which i thought was pretty cool.
