Temple Upsets ‘Nova…More Coming?
Sunday’s Temple/Villanova game was as exciting as a college game can get and I was lucky enough to be in attendance for this Big-5 brawl.
Temple came into this game against (3) Villanova as an underdog but they had the packed house at the Liacouras Center behind them the entire game. They also had a respectable 7-2 record and one of their losses came to (15) Georgetown by 1 point- so I knew Villanova shouldn’t be taking this team lightly.
It looked like it would be over early as the Wildcats stormed out to a 33-19 lead with about 4:30 to go in the first half. The crowd seemed out of it and everything was going Nova’s way-until Temple started to heat up. They ended the half on a 12-4 run. The second half was more of the same as they started on an 11-0 run behind incredible 3 point shooting to grab the lead. Temple would never look back and held off Villanova 65-75.
