Nolley was just 3 for 12 from the floor in regulation, but then a perfect 4 for 4 in overtime, all midrange shots. Not really the offense I'd want to count on in crunch time, but it worked.

We were 28-30 at the free throw line. We scored more at the stripe than we did from beyond the arc, which is crazy for our offense. Perhaps most importantly, we outrebounded them, giving Temple only 5 second chance opportunities in a 45 minute game. And we did it with a small lineup most of the game. The bigs (Lakhin, Ody, Ezikpe, Hensley) combined for only 59 minutes out of 90 available at the 4/5 spots. That means Davenport was almost exclusively playing the 4 in his 31 minutes. Skillings and Davenport were 5 of 6 from three, which we needed because the rest of the team went 3 for 16.
