I’m sure HCGM is ...

It was a little bit more than a lack of defense. Temple shot lights out from the 3 pt line with our players right in their face for most of the night.

We pulled it out and gave ourselves a shot at the AAC title. Sunday will be fun! Been a long time since I've been as excited for a February league game as I am for Sunday!

Love that second half fight! We did our part to help by standing almost the entire second half and giving up most of our voices. Now the Shocks are masters of their own fate.

Go Shocks!

career high rebounds for Shaq but not points

I think Willis missed his career high by 1.

[Shocker Mama]

They were both outstanding.

[Blackmag]

Wow, what a game, and what a crowd. That was a high level game and both teams left everything on the court. Lot of respect for Temple. They hit some really tough shots but we owned the paint. Shaq and Willis really came up big. Only 7 turnovers and we won the rebound battle second half. We made our free throws and with Houston knocking off Cinncy Sunday will be even a bigger game than it already was.

Temple shot well from three (an understatement)...but, many of them were uncontested without a guy near to being in their face. Once we started defending the perimeter in the 2nd half, their offense sputtered.

Yet another reason to love this conference.....we win a home game and don't drop 10 points in the RPI (up 2 to 17 I believe) AND Temple loses to us and moves up 1 to 39.

Cincy only drops to 10 and Houston flies up 9 to 21. #POW6R

Yes, 25 last year against an easier team in Indiana State.

Shaq and Willis combined for 18-21, 3-5 from 3, 8-11 FT, 15 boards (13 by Shaq) 4 assists, 1 block, 1 steal and just 1 turnover. Impressive.

I feel so happy for Zach Brown. He wanted so badly to make the winning plays, and he did.
