The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: Temple-St. Joe’s 3, the A-10 Tourney
The Good: As always, beating St. Joe’s is always good. This time it was done by great team scoring lead by Ryan Brooks 19 points (6-12 from the floor, 3-4 from 3 pt range) and 14 from Senior Center Sergio Olmos, who has done a great job scoring the basketball of late. If Sergio averages 14 points over the next two days, the Owls will win the tournament. Also, a great rebounding day for the Owls, as they outrebounded the Hawks 42-37. Lavoy lead the way with 13 boards (5 offensive) despite only playing 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Craig Williams and Juan Fernandez were also huge coming off the bench, with Williams hitting several threes when the Owls trailed 12-6 early, and Juan making several great passes for assists.
The Bad: Unfortunately, there’s no other way to put this but Dionte Christmas was just horrible shooting the ball, making 1 field goal on 10 attempts. He also commited some bad fouls that forced him to the bench for much of crunch time when St. Joe’s made a run. Unfortunately, this far overshadows the great job he did in creating easy shots for his teammates throughout the day.
The Ugly: Five turnovers on five straight possesions late in the game, giving St. Joe’s hope late in the game. This kind of play tomorrow against an aggresive Xavier team will lead to a blow out loss for the Owls.
