Temple kept fighting from behind and finally caught and passed URI tonight.
The Owls won, 92-89 in an overtime thriller.
URI led for the first 38 minutes, by as many as 16 points. Temple made numerous comeback attempts and the Rams held them off time after time. Finally, with 1:58 left, Temple tied it at 74. It was 76-76 at the end of regulation.
The Owls led by six early in overtime before URI rallied and tied it at 86. Hoops by Mark Tyndale and Lavoy Allen and two free throws by Dionte Christmas won it for Temple. URI got the ball back with six seconds left, but Jimmy Baron's off-balance 3-pointer to tie it from 28 feet was short at the buzzer.
Christmas had 25 and Tyndale 24 f or Temple. Will Daniels had 24, Parfait Bitee 17 and Keith Cothran 14 for URI, which drops to 20-5 and 6-4 in the conference.
