The Temple Owls were upset by the
Massachusetts Minutemen 77-71 in their first game of the A-10 conference
tournament. Chaz Williams led the Minutemen with 20 points and 10 assists.
Costly turnovers hurt the Owls
throughout the game and UMass was able to capitalize on the mistakes. The
Minutemen opened the second half with a 15-0 run and it took Temple five
minutes to score their first points of the second half. Ramone Moore led the
Owls with 14 points and five rebounds and Khalif Wyatt had 15 points.
UMass will play the winner of the
St. Joes/St. Bonaventure game. Temple will be in the big tournament without
question. They will have to wait until Sunday to find out what seed they will
be. Some experts have Temple projected as high as a fourth seed but this loss
will likely push them down to a five or six seed.
