Temple, our Jan. 4 opponent here in Philadelphia is playing at Texas at 2:30 on ESPN2. I have not seen the Owls play this year but it returns much of last year's 26-8 team and the core is upperclassmen. Temple is 6-2, rated 36 by Pomeroy with a 61 SOS. Temple is coached by the very capable Fran Dumphy

Probably worth watching while your decorating for the holidays. I believe Fran will have Temple ready to give Duke a tough game in the Wells Fargo Center.
