Game Thread: Temple @ Dayton (Saturday 2/9/13)

[paulxu]

They're still trying to correct the ESPN play-by-play. It's changed for the third time but still appears screwed up.

[College Hoops]

Dayton seniors fail again in the end game. Dillard with two turnovers and would had a third but for a timeout, and Benson misses both free throws. Both teams went to the Wilt Chamberlain School of Free throw Shooting. Temple 10-22 for 46%. Dayton, 19-33 for 58%. Dayton still can't box on free throws. Flyers let this one get away. Derenbecker never put up a shot. We'll see whether or not this loss leads to them packing it in.

Even Wilton Norman did better than that 2 headed Benson-Robinson 4-13 effort = 31% killer.

For the record

-Wyatt hits 3 with 7 seconds left. TU leads 72-71

-Dillard gets trapped and the ball goes out of bounds, Temple ball. 3 seconds left.

-Temple inbounds into the backcourt. Scottie Randall breaks free and is not touched. A foul is called anyway. 1.6 seconds remaining.

-Randall misses both FTs. Dayton rebounds and calls timeout. 1.3 seconds remaining.

-Dayton needs to go the length of the court, in-bounding on the baseline. Before the ball is inbounded, a ridiculous foul is called away from the ball on Anthony Lee as he fought through a screen with Benson doing his best to play up the contact. Still 1.3 seconds left.

-Benson misses both FTs. O'Brien rebounds and is fouled immediately. 1.0 seconds left.

-O'Brien misses the first free throw, then hilariously chucks the 2nd attempt high off the backboard, no rim - Dayton once again gets the ball out of bounds, needing to go the legnth of the court, now with 1.0 on the clock.

-Inbounds pass is deflected, clock runs out. Game over.

Thanks buckswope. Lot of action in 3 seconds.

Temple played very good defensive foul shooting %, late.

Thank you. 6 pages into the game thread and I had no idea what had happened. Sounds like attempted homecourt screw job, especially because of the Randall call, which I now understand.

wow...just not a good year for Dayton.

What a muddled finish.

[xavierhoops]

One good thing to come from this game for everyone is that it appears Muddy will not be rejoining us until after the season is over.

Congratulations to the Owls on the victory. I DVR'd the game because I had some errands but I couldn't resist checking the score on my cell phone. Another close loss 72-71!

About that time my son calls from Charlotte and asks if I watched the game. Upon hearing that I DVR'd it to watch later he tells me that I shouldn't because I would probably throw something through the TV. He said it was the most bizarre ending to a game that he had ever seen.

He said the Flyers ****ed down their leg. I said let me guess? Benson and Dillard (both seniors) screwed it up down the stretch after we had a comfortable lead. He said, "how did you know"? "you are exactly right"!

But ESPN shows Benson missing 4 FT's in the last second of the game. That can't be right, can it?

While that's not what actually happened, Benson would have been happy to miss as many free throws as he was offered.
