12.17.19 | Men's Basketball
BROOKLYN, N.Y. - A big second half wasn't enough for the Temple men's basketball team as the Miami Hurricanes topped the Owls 78-77 in the Basketball Hall of Fame Invitational. With the loss, Temple falls to 7-3 on the season.
Game Summary
> Junior De'Vondre Perry came up big for the Owls, posting a career-high 18 points off the bench and going 4-of-6 from behind the arc.
> Four Owls scored in the double-digits. Perry led the team with Quinton Rose (14), Alani Moore II (12), and Monty Scott (10) behind him.
> Nate Pierre-Louis was one point shy of a double-double (9 pts, 14 reb), while Jake Forrester had a career-high nine rebounds.
> The game saw seven ties and 15 lead changes, all coming in the second half.
> Temple shot just under 41 percent from the field, sinking a season-best 13 three-pointers.
> Junior Chris Lykes led Miami with 17 points, while Perry led both teams.
First Half
> Miami controlled the game to open the first half, putting up four early points.
> J.P. Moorman II drained a three to put Temple on the board but the Hurricanes began to create separation.
> The Owls kept the score close, trailing by no more than nine and going on a 6-2 run with just under seven minutes in the half.
> The Temple defense held Miami to just four points in the final four minutes of the first half before scoring five unanswered points in the final minute. The Owls went into the locker room trailing by just one point.
> Temple shot 50 percent from behind the arc, sinking six threes and holding the Hurricanes to 2-of-8.
Second Half
> The Owls opened the second half hot, going on a 9-2 run and taking their first lead of the game.
> The Hurricanes closed the gap and pulled ahead with just over 15 minutes on clock before Temple regained the lead.
> Both teams traded buckets for the rest of the game, with neither holding more than a five-point advantage.
> Temple fought back from a five-point deficit with just three minutes remaining, pulling ahead by one before Miami retook a one-point lead.
> A trey from Perry gave Temple its final lead of the game with 34 seconds on the clock, but a pair of free throws from the Hurricanes and a missed three-pointer from Rose with one second left sealed the game.
Next Up
> Temple will play its final game before opening conference play, hosting Rider Saturday afternoon. Tip off is set for 1 p.m. and will be broadcasted on ESPN3.
