I'd take this one as well. The only team in that region that scares me is Michigan State because they are so well coached.
I'd love to get Villanova or Duke as the #1 in our side of the bracket if we are a 4 or 5.
We'd have the mental edge over Temple because of what they did to us last time we played -- we also have the experience edge on them. Their schedule was relatively weak this year; they got early wins at home against Gtown and Villanova. Their best road win was St. Louis. They are also relatively young with 1 Senior and 1 Junior in their top 5 and a bunch of sophomores. They go about 8 deep with 2 seniors and 2 juniors. But they are definitely sophomore top-heavy.
