Want to commend the fellow Terps who made it out to the Palestra today

We had a very strong showing and made our presence felt. Numbers-wise it was about 60-40 Temple, I'd say, but noise-wise it was easily 50-50. It's unfortunate that the guys weren't able to pull out a win but they gave us a good game and they're clearly making progress.

I think we're all hoping for Alex Len to be alright after injuring his ankle today. I think today we took some steps in the right direction and Turge will have the team ready for the Dookies. Here's to not having your voice on Thursday morning!

it was deceiving

In the first half I sat in the back corner with all of the maryland fans and give us credit, we were pretty loud. In the second half I sat courtside with a temple alumni and it was a completely different atmosphere. aside from that one terp section it really was mostly temple. Probably 75-25. For a road game we made our presence felt, but its not hard to make yourself heard in the Palestra. The key is our home crowd lets go destroy dook wednesday

i would say it was 60-40 temple

at first there was really no temple fans in and they filled in. It wasn’t just that one section in the corner..i was in a section on the total different side and there were plenty of terp fans in every section

I had a great time… will write it up in more detail when I get home tomorrow. We should play a OOC team from Philly there every year

I could notice it watching on TV

Great turnout, great the way you brought the passion and noise.

To me, it looked like we were ~1/4 of the attendance, but may as much as 1/3rd

we were 50% of the volume. The Palestra is a dynamite place to see a game and makes me want Cole back even more. Terp fans were outstanding at the game.

Hear this all and hear it now- order will be restored to our basketball world.. soon. Things are going to get better. Turgeon is the man!

As bad as Nick struggled today, in the flesh, he oozes with talent and to me, looks like the biggest stud on the team. This is the first time I’ve seen him play and please believe he can do it. He is quick, has good size, can get where he wants, and is not afraid. He is going to be DYNAMITE… eventually. Stogs is just nasty and can flat out score the basketball. The others are all a work in progress but we have some pieces and I expect to win our home games.

Go Terps!
