Chronicowls '11, Post 2 (Temple-Georgetown)

This tweet from the Temple University's Office of University Communications:
#Temple takes down #10 Georgetown 68-65! Hoyas 1st loss 2010; Dunphy's 400th career win. Students storm court. Moore career-high 30 pts.
There you have it. Last night's game, summed up in 140 characters.
-----------------------
We secured a parking spot on Cecil Moore Avenue, just outside the Liacouras Center. We took it as a sign that the evening was going to be a memorable one.We were further convinced that this game had the makings of an evening to remember when, 15 seconds into the game, Juan Fernandez scored. Temple supporters were thus able to quickly take their seats, much to the relief of a handful of fans (first-timers to the Liacouras Center, no doubt, as they were unaware of the Temple tradition of standing until the Owl's first point) seated behind us who were quick to call out "down in front" as the tip-off approached. Temple scored the first six points of the game, and never trailed. Plenty of drama remained, nonetheless, as the game's outcome came down to the final shot.
----------------------
Temple had featured balanced scoring thus far in the season. Not last night. Juan Fernandez had seven points in the game's first five minutes. He did not score again. 16 minutes remained in the game when Lavoy Allen scored his first basket. Allen and Fernandez combined for 13 points for the entire game. Ramone Moore tallied more points just in the FIRST HALF.
----------------------
And what an evening Moore had. On national television, no less. A breakthrough game. One year ago,almost to the day, a Big East school (Villanova) came into the Liacouras Center unbeaten and ranked in the top 10. An Owl guard (Fernandez) had a career game (scoring 33 points) to lead the Owls to a stunning victory over their city rivals. Last night, another Big East school , unbeaten and ranked in the top 10, visited the Liacouras Center. And another Owl guard , Ramone Moore, produced a career game to lead the Owls to an upset victory.
---------------------
Temple's first half was one of the better stretches of basketball they've played this season. Better than 50% shooting from the field. Making almost half of their three-point shots. And not missing a foul shot. (In fact, neither side missed a foul shot in the opening half). Yet the Owls couldn't shake the Hoyas. At one point in the first half, Georgetown went four minutes without scoring , yet Temple led only by seven points. Five minutes without scoring a basket didn't help matters for Temple.
--------------------
Enthusiastic and sizeable crowd last night. Student section full and spirited. The pep band in full complement. And new time-out contests introduced last night ( a bowling game and dice game). And an entertaining intermission show by a talented acrobatic tumbling squad. Yet, while last night's attendance (9509) is likely to be the largest this season, there were nearly a thousand empty seats. Disappointing.
-------------------
We were pleased to learn at the beginning of the season that Chickie and Pete's and Whelihan's would be setting up concession stands at the Liacouras Center. Their food choices, we discovered last night, are limited, and so I expect we'll be back to having pre or post game meals outside the Liacouras Center.
-------------------
A milestone was reached last night. Congratulations to Coach Dunphy, who picked his 400th win as a college coach. Only his predecessor, John Chaney, has more wins as a Big Five coach.
