Ah, it feels good to once again have our bad-karma inducing powers return. Just days after placing Georgetown an argueable #4 in Bracketeering, the Hoyas got upset on the road at Temple.
For the Hoyas, it is not really an "upset." Temple is a good ballclub that will almost certainly make the tourney, and the game was in their gym. No real harm done for Georgetown. But for Temple, the win was absolutely enormous, earning the Owls the valuable resume win that had eluded them earlier this season in losses to Cal and Texas A&M.
Adding Georgetown to the hit list, the Owls now own victories over Georgetown, Maryland, Seton Hall and Georgia and will get a crack at Phily rival Villanova before heading into Atlantic 10 conference play.
Leading the charge for Temple was Ramone Moore, who referred to the bigtime atmosphere surrounding the game as "a dream come true." The dream must have been even sweeter after netting a career-high 30 points in the winning effort. Moore is the Owls leading scorer on the season at 12.1 ppg, and continued to pick up some of the slack for preseason A10 POY candidate Lavoy Allen who has barely averaged double figures.
Georgetown faces two lesser opponents before their next true test, Dec 22nd's dandy at Memphis.
