The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: Temple Men’s Basketball vs. St. Louis
The Good: LaVoy Allen’s quick start. It was obvious that LaVoy had a big advantage over the player defending him and that the game plan was to get it inside early. Not only did they do this, LaVoy continued to convert and, most importanly, the team stayed with the offensive game plan.
The Bad: Second half turnovers. Because of the score, this became a very ugly schoolyard game where Temple’s players tried to force fancy plays instead of just moving the ball, killing the clock and playing sound, fundemental basketball like good teams do when in similar situations.
The Ugly: Injuries. Two major injuries in the game, the first to Dionte Christmas who had a cut over his eye. According to the post game report he needed a couple of sticthes. Worse was the injury to St. Louis guard Kwamain Mitchell collided with a teammate and appeared to have a head or neck injury. My thoughts are with him for a speedy recovery. He was playing hard the entire game despite the score and looks to be a heck of a ball player.
