1/4: 97-98 at 7-5, 2-1 Temple. Back and forth through the half. Up 3 at the break. We lost it on a truly awful call with 2.2 seconds left. Not having Toma hurt us badly, but the officiating hurt us more. Both Hawk and Juli fouled out, and Bree had 4. They went to the line 39 times, we went 24. Of course the fact that we missed 10 free throws didn't help.
19, 3, 5 for Wins, 17, 2, 4 for Ward, 16, 9 for Burr, 9, 9, 8 for Bree,
I shouldn't have done it, and it will undoubtedly cost me money, but at the press conference after the game I opened with,
"Congratulations to Temple and their three most valuable players who, strangely enough, were not wearing Temple's colors."
Totally worth the fine.
1/5: I got the word at around 4:30 that the NCAA has fined me $10,000.
