I would have to say that Dee Newson is probably one of the best, if not the best, point guard in the city of Chattanooga.

No -- Carter did not score. I believe Temple has 12 on the roster and 11 played tonight.

Temple 24 19 23 15 81 Grace Baptist 10 4 8 19 41 Temple: Seth Skogen 30, Dee Newson 20, Jeremy Sexton 12, Kameron Ridley 6, Michael Greene 5, Erik Larson 4, Brandon Andrews 2, Josh Smith 2. Grace Baptist: Shaugnessy 8, Foster 7, Herman 6, Church 6, Jordan 4, Hughes 3, Turner 3, Brown 2, Blake 2.

That "oldtimer" is not me, but I will see you there tonight. Temple should win by at least a dozen.

I have not seen him do it, but I hear the Smith kid can put it down too. I say Temple will win this one by at least by 15-20 points.

Those of us who have watched Temple play this year knows that they did not play their best basketball in the Best of Preps Tournament. I'm not taking anything away from Howard because they are a very good basketball team, but if Temple would have played to their potential they would have beat them. In the long run this tournament will help Temple to be a better team in the days to come. Congrats to Howard on winning the tournament.

Pretty sloppy game for Temple. They have not played their best basketball the last couple of games. I hope they play better and up to their potential against Howard tomorrow evening. Should be a good ballgame between two of the best teams in Chattanooga.

Why do you say they "should"?

See what?

IF all goes well -- you will, but I'm not going to make any assumptions about being a "shoo-in" at the 'Boro this early in the season.
