Fight for the Cherry and the White
It is now February and I could not be happier. Temple Men's Basketball is on a roll beating a ranked Maryland Team, they Killed U Mass yesterday, and besides Duke their remaining schedule looks fairly easy. I can't believe last week that Temple was 9th in the A 10 and now they are 3rd. Now there are more then 10 teams in the A 10, but 9th to 3rd is damn impressive. Mardy Collins is playing like he is ready for the NBA, and Dustin Salisbery looks like he could follow in his footsteps next year. Mark Tyndale looks like he loves the game and always has a smile on his face even after making a foul, that's hard to find in a player these days unless his face is lighting up with dollar signs. Antywane Robinson is hitting clutch shot after clutch shot in his Senior season. Nehemiah Ingram is to no surprise a fan favorite after last years St. Joe's game. What else can be said about this team?
Oh, John Chaney how could anyone forget the coach who gives the best quotes currently in college basketball. He is my kind of coach he goes to a press conference tears down his own team and the team in response to the builds themselves back up a little higher than they were the last time. This coaching method can be risky, but with the right group of players it can be very effective as well. The Owls have the right group of players for this coaching style. Chaney is never satisfied and in the game of basketball you can't be. There is always room for improvement, ask guys like Larry Bird who was the first to get to practice and the last to leave. That is the mentality that Chaney has, never be satisfied with what you did in the past because there is always gonna be someone waiting to take their shot at you. My favorite recent quote from Chaney is as follows, "He's they type of guy who could go to a dock at night and run into fifty guys holding baseball bats and he would ask where the game was at." I believe this was about Salisbery but I could be wrong.
By the way...Spring Training starts in a month...Who is excited oh I believe I am!
