Temple/Nova

[Orangezoo]

13-5 early Temple up. Temple just off a loss to Wagner. Nova looks awful and listless without Wright at the helm.

Temple looks solid but I think Nova is going to have a tough go for a bit ranked now but expect that isn't long lived.

Still can’t believe Wright retired, was there something more to the story I missed? Health issues?

He never said except to spend time with family? And I have no idea but I’d bet it was the combo of NIL and the portal, especially NIL.

Temple wins it. Ugly game.

Two thoughts:
-I'm shocked that the Temple player didn't intentionally miss the free throw on purpose at the end. Make them shoot a 90-foot prayer instead of being able to throw an inbounds pass.
-I'm physically tired of the last name Arcidiacono.

If they are going to call the flop in Gonzaga-MSU, they should have called a flop on the pick the Temple guy set on the indounds play at the end.

He's 62 and has accomplished basically everything there is to accomplish as a college coach. I have no way of knowing for sure, but probably just wants to enjoy the rest of his life stress-free. Some people don't want to coach until they're 100.

It was family/personal but other than that no details. Which honestly is how it should be.

Agreed just surprised since he was in his prime

As was mentioned above it wouldn't surprise if NIL played a role. Some programs will be at a massive disadvantage. I could see where Nova is in that bucket of teams.

 

[OrangeDW]

Don’t care the circumstances, let’s take advantage of any Nova fall off and start going to Philly and getting guys like Warrick, Scoop, Jackson, Waiters, and Christmas again.

Nova's rise coincided with our decline

 

[721Comstock]

Nova's rise coincided with our decline

Yup.

Same could be said for SUNJ & UCONN football.

There’s zero coincidence that after we self imposed the death penalty on our football program by hiring GERG, that both those scrub programs rose to their highest respective heights, ever.

 

[OrangeDW]

Nova's rise coincided with our decline

Yup. And if they won 2 friggin natty’s in the last 7 years out of that league….smh. No excuses. Let’s get this thing rolling again. We should be better than them.

 

[subarney]

Nova was without their 2 best players

Moore yes. Whitmore being a frosh have to see if that is true.

Very interesting they wait until the rat retires to start calling flops

 

[Orangezoo]

Yep. Nova is down two key guys but Temple isn't very good and Nova looked rough to me.. Delaware State is really bad.
