You’ll hear from Temple head coach K.C. Keeler as well as his defensive coordinator Brian L. Smith as we take a look at the 3-3 Owls at the halfway mark of the season following their last-minute, 32-31 loss to Navy. With a get-right game coming up at 1-5 Charlotte Saturday, we’ll tell you why we think Temple is still bowl-bound in Keeler’s first season, and we’ll also tell you why the preseason polls aren’t accurate predictors of the basketball seasons ahead for Diane Richardon’s and Adam Fisher’s programs.
