Charlotte-Temple at the half

ATLANTIC CITY -- Even though both teams made fewer than 10 field goals each, Temple seemed pretty well in control of things in taking a 28-19 lead over Charlotte into halftime.

The 49ers shot 7-for-25 (28.0%) from the field, including 3-for-16 from three-point range (18.8%) and 4-for-9 from two-point range (44.4%), and 2-for-4 from the free throw line (50.0%). Two offensive rebounds, 10 defensive rebounds, five assists, five turnovers, no blocks, five steals and seven fouls committed.

That adds up to 30 possessions and 0.638 points per possession.

The Owls shot 9-for-24 from the field (37.5%), including 4-for-15 from three-point range (26.7%) and 5-for-9 from two-point range (55.6%), and 6-for-10 from the free throw line (60.0%). Eight offensive rebounds, 17 defensive rebounds, seven assists, nine turnovers, two blocks, three steals and seven fouls committed.

Chris Clark and Mark Tyndale tied for game-highs in the half with nine points; Leemire Goldwire led Charlotte with eight points on 2-for-8 shooting, all from beyond the arc.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
