COLLEGE BASKETBALL ROUNDUP : Missed Foul Shots Help Temple Beat No. 1 Kansas in Overtime

Temple scored the first 10 points of overtime and defeated top-ranked Kansas, 74-66, Friday night in the opening game of the inaugural Jimmy V Classic at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J.

The victory came nine days after the Owls (3-4) defeated then No. 2 Villanova, and only a few days after they lost to No. 9 Cincinnati.

“Everybody we play has a number,” Temple Coach John Chaney said. “They’re No. 5, No. 1, No. 10. There’s a lot of numbers out there. I schedule as many tough teams as I can. The more tough teams you play the more character you develop.”

Jerod Haase of Kansas (7-1) was at the free-throw line with the score tied, 56-56, with 8.2 seconds to play in regulation. But Haase, who had made his last 10 free throws, missed both.

Mark Jackson had a career-high 31 points and 12 rebounds for Temple. Haase had a career-high 30 points.

No. 2 Massachusetts 75, No. 21 Georgia Tech 67--The Minutemen took control with a 9-0 run midway through the second half of the second game of the Jimmy V Classic.

Massachusetts (7-0) also took advantage of Kansas’ loss and will become the No. 1-ranked team when the polls come out next week.

Marcus Camby had 18 points to lead the Minutemen.

The Yellow Jackets are 6-5.

No. 7 Villanova 80, New Orleans 72--Kerry Kittles scored 30 points to lead the Wildcats at New Orleans.

Villanova (8-1) put the game away in the final five minutes with a 12-2 run.

PACIFIC 10
