DAGENAIS DIALOGUE
[On playing Temple]
My first thought when I watch them is that their pretty good at the serve and pass game. And being in that position gives them an awful lot of good looks on the first ball kills situation. We are going to have to serve them tough and limit their options because they are such a good passing team. The other thing they do pretty well is they're low error, both in first ball kill and in transition.
[On the environment]
What's unique about Temple is that they sit in every other row and slam the plastic seats up and down every time we serve. It's pretty loud and obnoxious. They definitely show their visitors no mercy when it comes to that, but it's a unique situation.
