Owls Head into Conference Play 2009-01-11 19:06:43 After finishing the season's worth of MAC opponents, the Temple Owls will now take their 2-game winning streak into Atlantic 10 Conference play. Tonight, the Owls (7-6) will come back into Philadelphia to play against Big 5 rival La Salle (8-5). As always, The Owls' Nest will bring you our preview of the game, and what both teams need to do to pull out the victory:The La Salle Explorers, off to on
The Eagles Fall 2009-01-08 19:09:51 No, not the Philadelphia Eagles.In their second game in 3 days, the Temple Owls were able to hoist themselves back over a .500 record with a win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Though Fran Dunphy considered this game "sloppy", I myself felt that this was basketball the way that Temple has not played in a while: well.One of the players that really found his game was Lavoy Allen, who was in an obv
Goin' to the Ship 2009-01-07 20:50:00 With a win today against College of Charleston, the Temple Owls will move on into the Charleston Classic Championship. Tonight, at 8:00, the Owls' opponent will be decided between Clemson and TCU.There's no saying that getting to this point was easy, however. In just 2 games, the Owls are making an impression on this year's season. Temple- 79ESTU- 65Temple- 70C. of Charleston- 65The Owls came int
It's November, and the Owls are Dancing 2009-01-07 20:48:54 Just like the title says, the Owls are cruising for a championship in mid November
- a Charleston Classic one, that is. The Owls will be up against a very talented Clemson Tigers team- one that was coincidentally knocked out of last year's field of 64 by Villanova. With close to 5 hours until gametime, we'll take a quick look into this Clemson team, and what the Owls are up against:The Clemson Tige Read more:Dancing
Clemson Hands TU First Loss 2009-01-07 20:48:11 Coming into this game, nobody knew what to expect. Fans from all over came to see what became a classic nail biter.In my previous post, I mentioned Lavoy Allen and the necessity of Temple's rebounding. In this game, that was the exact case, and part of the reason that the Owls lost to Clemson 76-72. This was, indeed, the Charleston Classic Championship, and both teams had set their eyes on winning Read more:Hands

Business as Usual 2009-01-07 20:45:58 On a cold November night, the Temple Owls headed into Lafayette looking to get back on track- that's exactly what they did. Coming off a loss to Clemson just 5 days prior, nobody knew how the team would react. The Lafayette Leopards made an attempt to keep things optimistic, but it didn't work out for them. The final score of this one was 71-55 in the Owls' favor.Coming off two consecutive victor Read more:Business

Buffalo Hands Temple Second Loss 2009-01-07 20:41:01 This afternoon's game seemed to be a glimpse of what happened September 13th, only now in Basketball. It might not have been a half court shot, or some sort of buzzer beater, but it was still another heartbreaking loss for the Temple

Isaac Newton's Universal Law 2009-01-07 20:36:08 What goes up, must come down- this is the thought that the Temple Owls must be going through as they try to bounce back against Miami (OH). This past Saturday the team suffered a tough loss against Buffalo (one that really pondered the fans). What does this loss do to our season? How could we lose to such a team?Well, unfortunately, things will not get any easier this Wednesday, as the Owls will b Read more:Isaac

Owls Rock The Vols! 2009-01-07 20:35:21 Let me begin by saying excuse me for my absence.Several weeks ago, I was not so sure how this team, more this season, would turn out. Two straight losses to MAC teams had put has down to .500, nearly extinguishing Top 25 hopes at the time. From that moment, though, things had gotten better:Several events happened while I was off from my postings:1) Owls beat Penn State2) Buffalo losses to UCONN by

What One Win Can Do 2009-01-07 20:33:08 Today, Temple Basketball did the favor of assisting the Owls' Football team in acquiring 6 new recruits- yes, 6 in one day.

Several of these players, however, got their "icing on the cake" from TU's Men's Basketball victory of #8 Tennessee.Here are the names of the players, along with available player profiles:- Kadeem Custis (6'

For the second time in this young season, the temple Owls have dropped two games in a row. Last year's Atlantic 10 Champions are now at a record of 5-5; one that does not sit well with the gans or team.
