| Xavier's Tu Holloway put up 21 points, helping the Muskies defeat Temple, 88-77 |
The Xavier Musketeers (12-5, 4-0 A-10) were hosting the Temple Owls (13-4, 3-1 A-10), Saturday. Not only was Xavier sporting throwback jerseys from the 90's, and retiring Brian Grant's #33 jersey, but it was a match up between the two top dogs in the Atlantic 10. Xavier had not beaten Temple since February 5th, 2009, as the final score was 83-72. That was XU's last home game versus the Owls, and now, in 2011, they pick up a win 88-77, and go to 13-5 and 5-0 in the A-10, while Temple falls to 13-5 and 3-2 in the A-10.
Tu Holloway lead the way in points, as he had 21, he was also a board away from a double-double, as he had 9 rebounds.
There were 3 other Muskies in double-digits, Mark Lyons, Jamel McLean, and Kenny Frease. Mark Lyons had 19 points, and a red-hot 1st half. McLean had 16 points, and Frease had 11.
For the Owls, Scootie Randall had a great game, as he had 28 points, which made up for the lack of scoring by their star player, Ramone Moore, who finished with 10 points. The other Owl that recorded double-figures is Wyatt, who had 19 points off the bench.
So, with this win, as I said XU goes to 13-5 and 5-0 in the Atlantic 10, but they also set an Atlantic 10 record. Xavier is now holds the A-10 record for consecutive home wins in conference play, at 35 in-a-row.
Next, the X-Men will host George Washington. That game is Wednesday at 7:00 PM ET and will be on FS Ohio.
