Tigers Fall on Road to Owls 77-66
Jan 25, 2017 | Men's Basketball
PHILADELPHIA - Jeremiah Martin scored 16 second-half points, and Markel Crawford scored 15 as the Memphis Tigers could not overcome a second-half Temple run in a 77-66 loss to the Owls on Wednesday evening.
Dedric Lawson added 13 points for the Tigers, who fell to 15-6 on the season and 5-3 in league play. Crawford pulled down a team-high seven rebounds, while he and Martin dished out five assists. Jimario Rivers tied a career-high with four assists.
Craig Randall II added nine points and three rebounds off of the bench for Memphis, which had 15 assists on 22 made field goals, against just nine turnovers.
The game started as one of runs, as the Tigers scored the first five points of the game. Temple rallied to score the next ten points and take a 10-5 lead five and a half minutes into the contest.
The Tigers rallied to score eight consecutive points, capped by a Crawford three-pointer, to give Memphis a 13-10 advantage. Two free throws from K.J. Lawson and a three-pointer by Keon Clergeot put the Tigers ahead by seven, just over halfway through the second half.
Memphis kept its lead for the next seven minutes until a three-pointer from Mark Williams with exactly three minutes on the clock put the Owls ahead for the first time since the early portions of the contest at 28-26.
A Lawson dunk tied the game, as a Rivers jumper with 50 seconds remaining in the half put Memphis ahead by two. Temple fought back and tied the game with a lay-in at the halftime buzzer from Quinton Rose to send the teams into the locker room knotted at 30 points apiece.
Temple got a lay-in to start the second half before Dedric Lawson made a pair of free throws to tie the score at 32. Temple's Shizz Alston Jr. scored the next eight points on a pair of three-pointers and a lay-in, and the Owls used its eight-point advantage and did not trail again in the contest.
After the Owls jumped ahead by 12, Memphis fought back using a Randall three-pointer, two free throws from Dedric Lawson and a free throw from Crawford to cut the deficit in half at 50-44; however, that would be as close as the Tigers would come in the game, as the Owls made 5-of-6 free throws down the stretch to ice the game in the 11-point loss.
Memphis made 22-of-55 shots from the field (40 percent) and 5-of-19 (26.3 percent) from long range.
Temple was led by Alston, who scored 22 points, including making four three-pointers, while Daniel Dingle scored 16 and Mark Williams 15 off of the bench.
The Tigers return to action on Saturday, January 28, when the team hosts East Carolina in a 2:30 p.m. tip-off at FedExForum.
