Temple and Nova are In
Posted by BMT on March 15th, 2009
No golf for the Owls at FDR this year. Temple has an 11 seed and will be facing Arizona State in the first round. ASU blew a double-digit lead in the PAC-10 tourney final to USC so they’ve shown their heart is as robust as a cactus needle. That’s a very winnable game for Temple.
Villanova is a 3 seed and should cruise by American U. in the first round. Villanova has shown they don’t necessarily have what it takes to knock off the big boys but two wins seems like a lock. Their experience in the toughest conference in college hoops this year should serve them well (7 Big East teams qualified).
We’ll be posting our bracket contest tomorrow, along with more in-depth, competent tournament coverage.
