Fort Worth, Texas: We have arrived at the best month in College Basketball – March Madness. The Temple Owls were looking to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016 led by head coach Aaron Mckie.
On Friday, Temple took on Cincinnati in the quarterfinals of the American Athletic Conference tournament & they did not look good as the Bearcats would embarrass the Owls 84-54.
Following the game, Aaron Mckie was concerned about his future as head coach

During the game, a report came out about the status of Aaron Mckie
Just asked Temple AD Arthur Johnson about the status of Coach Aaron McKie at halftime of today’s game, Johnson said: “We’ll look at everything when the season’s over.”

During his four years as head coach of the Temple Owls, Aarn Mckie is 52-55 and has not won a game in the American Athletic Conference tournament.
During the 2022-23 season, Temple would go 16-16 & 10-8 in conference play; they had 3 marquee wins which featured an upset of number 1 ranked Houston on the road, beating Rutgers on a neutral court at Mohegan Sun Arena and taking down number 16 Villanova in their 2nd game of the season, but they would have some bad losses to St John’s, Maryland Eastern Shore, Wagner, Ole Miss & Vanderbilt.
This is something that we’re going to monitor in the offseason: if Aaron Mckie will still be the head coach.
