Ridiculous that Moorman plays 26 minutes, takes 5 FGA’s and scores but 3-points. While Perry plays 19 minutes takes but one shot and scored no points. That’s 46 points from the PF position with only 3 points scored. Can readily see why Temple scored but 66 points.

This game was won by Temple’s pressure defense on the perimeter that hat caused Davidson to shoot poorly on threes. in the second half.

Hope this doesn’t continue because it bring into question whether Temple’s defense will continue to help Temple win games.
