Free throw shooting saved us in this one. Temple decided to iso Nolley and feed the low post, and we generally couldn't stop it. We fouled them on a majority of possessions down the stretch. They did iso DDJ a few times early but abandoned that plan and mostly pounded the ball inside and got a lot of open threes in transition or breakdowns.

On offense the high ball screens were working in the first half, but we mostly abandoned them (or any kind of action) late and instead went for isolation with DDJ up top or Nolley on the wing. We were lights out from the line, saving us from a rough shooting night from the starting five. Skillings and Davenport hit some big threes off the bench. Nolley was hitting from midrange in OT, giving Temple a dose of their own iso medicine.
