Temple Tested Against Towson

11/14/2013

0 Comments

 
Looking to bounce back after a tough loss at home against Kent State Monday, Temple went into Towson looking for their second victory.  Instead, they struggled to contain Towson's star forwards Jerrelle Benimon and Marcus Damas, who combined for 48 of the team's 75 points.  College basketball junkies may remember Jerrelle Benimon from his days at Georgetown, but has proven to be a terrific player for Towson in his second season since transferring.
The Owls saw another productive game from big man Anthony Lee, who finished with 20 points and 9 rebounds.  Lee has proven to be a top contributor for this Owls team going forward and will need to keep producing like this if the Owls wish to turn their fortunes around.  Guard Will Cummings also had a big all-around game, finishing with 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.  Once again, Temple's starting lineup played the game they needed to play, but the bench struggled mightily.  The Owls starters combined for 63 of the 69 points.  Until the Owls find an answer off the bench, they will fail to find their way to the top of the conference.  

Rebounding was also a major issue for the Owls.  Towson was aggressive in crashing the offensive boards, finishing with 22 offensive rebounds in the game.  Temple did not seem to have any rebounding answers outside of Lee, and will need to find someone else to want to join him in crashing the boards if they want to succeed this season.

Not to worry Owls fans, this is still a Temple team learning how to mesh their talents together, after losing a lot of production from last year's team.  Coach Fran Dunphy is still tinkering with different lineups and defensive sets, so look for the Owls to greatly improve once Dunphy finds the rotations he likes.

Next Game: Thursday, November 21 @ Clemson
