The Dores fought hard, especially after Scotty Pippen, Jr. sent the game to overtime with a late three pointer. Still, it was not enough. Temple controlled most of the 2nd half, and came away with a hard fought 72-68 overtime win, The Dores are now 5-3 on the season with two homes games (against Loyola-Chicago and Austin Peay) and a mini-vacation tourney in Hawaii before SEC play begins. Things are not exactly looking great for the Peach Basket Dores. The NCAA tourney hopes are all but shot, as are the NIT consolation prize hopes.
Problem is Temple has just figured out how to defend us.
