4* #719 TEMPLE over GEORGETOWN We will go a little shorter on details here because we are only two hours to tipoff, but the markets pushing this one out to -9.5 has the cart far ahead of the horse for a Georgetown team that had little defensive chemistry in LY?s 16-15 campaign, and must prove that those issues have been solved before meriting this range. They are calling for a high level of domination given the low Total, and a Temple team that brings battle-tested veterans in Lavoy Allen, Ryan Brooks and Juan Fernandez is a true ?tough out? in this setting, particularly with Fran Dunphy so well-versed as taking on this type of playbook through his coaching career. At a slow tempo the Owls never do lose contact here, and are in the hunt to win outright to the final possessions.
