Temple University and San Diego State University Locked in Tight Battle
In the late goings of today's Round of 32 contest between the Temple Owls and the San Diego State University Aztecs, it looked like the Aztecs were going to get the second NCAA Tournament in the program's history (the first coming against Northern Colorado on Thursday).
With less than two minutes to go, the Aztecs held a 54-49 lead, but the game wasn't in the bag quite yet. Temple fought back on the strength of a three-pointer from Khalif Wyatt and a Lavoy Allen jumper to tie the score 54-54 with less than a minute to go.
San Diego State had a final shot opportunity with four seconds left in regulation, but Chase Tapley's couldn't get a floater to go. The game went to overtime.
Juan Fernandez scored five of Temple's seven points in the overtime period, but the Aztecs were able to keep pace. They had yet another final shot opportunity, but Malcolm Thomas jumper was no good. The game went to a second overtime with scored tied at 61-61.
At this very moment, there is 2:38 to go in the second overtime period, and San Diego State has a 65-61 lead. As soon as the game goes final, we'll gave a full recap.
