Billikens Draw Blood on Christmas; Still Get Trounced by Temple

Apparently St. Louis decided the only way they would have a chance to come back from an already insurmountable lead was to try and take out straitpinkie.com Player of the Year candidate Dionte Christmas.  With 13:17 remaining and the Billikens trailing by a bunch, a Billiken nailed Floyd and opened up a cut just over his left eye.  Christmas was 4 of 10 for 8 points, 7 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals before leaving, filling out the stat sheet.  LaVoy Allen picked up the slack and helped Temple maintain their lead, cruising to a 65-40 victory that gives them 10 wins on the season against 7 losses (2-1 in the A-10).  It could also be possible St. Louis was paid off by another team in the A-10, cuz forget stopping, we all know come March, no one will be able to even contain Fa-Fa-Fa-FLOYD CHHHRISTMAS!!!!
