Contenders have come and gone, but Temple has long been viewed as a power in the Atlantic Ten since the mid-1980s. However, the Owls are now entering their final year in the conference, leaping to the Big East next year in the big conference switcheroo that has consumed college athletics. The Owls are really deep, perhaps playing 10 men in a rotation highlighted by guards Khalif Wyatt and Scootie Randall (missed last year with a knee injury), along with forward Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson. Pennsbury?s Dalton Pepper figures right now to be in the first wave of substitutions.
Temple will likely be better after the New Year than they are before Christmas and should be knocking on the NCAA door again.
