Athletics: TTU to compete against BJU in Basketball

BJU is a new program and this 2 game series against the mighty Crusaders of TTU will be two guaranteed wins for us!!  I say we beat them easily in both games by 15+ :)
 
also if many of you havent heard, the 2013-14 season, LEE will be moving to NCAA 2, and starting their 3 yr journey to full membership.  Also that means they will probably be in the Mid East region in the NCCAA making it all the harder for Temple to compete for the region title yet again...I really hope this wont happen and Lee stays OUT of the NCCAA.  Union University is joining our region this season, so they will be tough like usual.  But most of the teams in our region are NAIA D-1, and so most likely the teams competing for postseason will be Hiwassee, TTU, Union, Trevecca, Bluefield, and Victory.  All the others most likely will be in their own conference tournements and such.  But our schedule is VERY tough this season..a very rough 1st semester with the likes of Lee and UTC, North Alabama, Clayton State, and Alabama Huntsville. Plus other top tier NAIA programs added in the mix and Temple probably wont win much in the first semester with the young team we will have after Coach Lee stepped down and most of the team left again.  Our height is gone, and only a handful of vets left and the other new signees will be HS grads....but second semester should be easier with NCCAA and USCAA teams.  If chemistry is there and the team jells and works together, we could see at least 10 wins this yr maybe a few more.  But dont get your hopes up like last yr when we were a 3 point shot away from nationals.  Last years team was REALLY good, and could have made nationals but a bad game here and there changed that.  Coach Brady has a job ahead of him to keep this team from falling back into the depths like it was from 2007-09.  Pray for the athletics this yr guys that God will do what He has planned for their future and TTU as a whole!!
