I looked into the declining attendance and overall apathy surrounding the Big 5 after Temple won a share of the title for the first time the 2012-13 season. If Sunday told us anything, it showed that fans will still come to watch games at The Palestra.

Owls are short-handed this afternoon. Zion Stanford has not checked in since the opening minutes, Riley is out, and Shane Dezonie is not available off the bench. Meanwhile, Sam Hofman is locked in, a team-high 17 points on 6/7 shooting. 62-51 VCU with 10 to play.

Rayne Tucker struggled finding hobbies outside of basketball while sitting out last season to comply with NCAA transfer rules. Now, the @templewbb forward is back on the floor and looks like the piece the team was missing. Story for @PhillyInquirer :

Temple has taken a big step forward this season. Rayne Tucker is a big part of that.

Tucker sat out last season to comply with NCAA transfer rules. She helped her teammates adjust to Diane Richardson's system, and now she's providing a key presence on the court, too.

Penn State also ran ticket ads, promotional videos on social media, brought their band, and filled their student sections. During the Owls’ game against La Salle in the Big 5 doubleheader on Nov. 30, Temple did not promote the event and just a handful of students made the trip.

Penn State is a Big 10 team and Purdue entered the contest ranked number one in the nation, but two visiting teams coming into town and putting on a better event at a place of Philadelphia basketball royalty is not a good look for Temple and the rest of the Big 5.
