The Temple schedule has officially been released and speculations can now begin.

Temple's out-of-conference schedule looks to be more challenging than last year. The out of conference schedule is highlighted by college powerhouses California (24-11), Maryland (24-9), Georgetown (23-11), Big 5 rival Villanova (25-8), and Duke (35-5).

If Temple can make it through their tough out-of-conference schedule and into their conference schedule with a winning record and finish top three in an up and coming A-10 conference, then the voters will be hard pressed to not invite the Owls to their 4th consecutive NCAA tournament.

Temple will play city rivals La Salle (12-18) and St. Joseph's (11-20) along with conference rival Fordham (2-26) twice this season.
