Villanova, a football school, will welcome Temple, a basketball school, to the Little Willy on Wednesday night for game two of their Big 5 slate.
Temple currently sits at 7-1 and leads the AAC, a conference that presumably possesses nude photos of the University of Connecticut. The Owls are by far the most formidable Big 5 opponent for the ‘Cats this year, ranking 75th in KenPom.
Let’s begin with noting the, well, weirdness, surrounding Fran Dunphy. Dunphy, a Big 5 legend who has coached at La Salle, Penn, and Temple, has been the head coach of the Owls since 2006.
