Dunph! JT3!

Some how we survived the UALR/Tulsa game, or as I'll forever refer to it as "The Pillow Fight Of The Hardwood". We get to see what should be a decent game of Temple and Georgetown, short shorts and grey undershirts optional. We'll always miss John Chaney for the potential of this...



---

G'Town poppin' in new unis. First basket of the game is the 1,000th point of the day, all with minimal help from Monmouth.

Is Mike Patrick saying, "He's not a Ewing" an insult or a compliment? Does that mean he'll avoid blow jobs in a strip club? Or he'll be clutch if he makes the league? I need answers.

Why do I get every offensively challenged game to blog about? I might as well be watching a Rutgers/Princeton tussle from 1915.

Temple with the black unis in remembrance of the circles under Chaney's eyes.

There's as many points as turnovers, 8 at the 11:12 mark in the first half. Wow. Just... wow.

This game is on pace for a 32-20 slugfest. I think their football teams would score that in the first half. Alert Elias! We need some stats on this.

Mike Patrick, "Somebody check the rims". More or less sums up this game up to this point. This is the basketball gods daring us to doze off.

Is big JT melting? Is he trying to look like a Hoya himself? It's scary.

Gotta love the white guy every team has on their roster Always fun to watching the bumble and stumble.

Slightly more interesting game now. The scene in the living room is awesome: Mike half dead on one couch, Rob hood up listening to DMB wearing Wayfarers, Dan looking like he'd rather be anywhere else, and me smelling like a hobo.

And John Burr calls the and one with 5:09 left. His hair is fantastic, the way it bounces as he jogs, the way it shines in the bright lights of the Big East. They really are follicles to behold.

3:30 left. Media whistle. G'Town down 2 coming in with the ball.

HUGE illegal screen call. Gigantic. Gives the Hoyas the ball down 1 with 105 ticks left.

Owls get it back on a carry. Good, tight game in DC.

Timeout, Dunph. 81 seconds left, Owls with the ball and the lead. Here's where the #20 team in the country can show it by eeking one out.

G'Town ball and a timeout. 55.1 and 25 on the shot clock. A miss and Temple board means the Owls have to prove their meddle on the charity stripe. Monroe is rather underwhelming.

ATROCIOUS last possession by the Hoyas but a Temple miss! Timeout G'Town, down 1, 17.2 to go.

Monroe must have heard the critiques from 55 and gets the go ahead score. G'Town up 1 with 6.5 for Temple to work with. Plenty of time.

WOW. Great defense my G'Town. Jump ball goes to the Hoyas. Monroe forced the tie up. Really proving us wrong.

Great, great stuff. Sloppy game but fun ending. The 5 hour energy shots just rolled out. Making the last big push.
