Floyd Fantastic; Owls Lose.

Dionte was Dionte tonight, going 10-20 from the field (4-12 from beyond the arc), scoring 26 points, grabbing 9 boards, handing out 3 assists, and swiping one pass.  Unfortunately it wasn’t enough as the Massachusetts Minutemen shot 48% from three-point land and won 79-75 behind junior guard Ricky Harris’ 24 points.  Temple falls to 9-7 overall and 1-1 in the Atlantic 10.  Next up for Christmas and the Owls are the Billikens of Saint Louis on Thursday night at the Liacouras Center.

Floyd will be hittin the gym even harder to try and help keep the Owls tourney hopes alive...
