Memphis made another huge cut for national regard Sunday evening. In any case, at last a point monitor with a national notoriety and an adjusted lineup helped Temple escape with a 73-67 extra time win Sunday at Elma Roane Field House to open the American Athletic Conference ladies' b-ball slate for both groups.
Feyonda Fitzgerald, a senior who earned national player of the week respects by ESPN-W a week ago, simply missed a triple-twofold with 19 focuses, 10 helps and eight bounce back. In any case, the Owls (9-3, 1-0) got twofold figures exhibitions from five players, including junior sub Tanaya Atkinson, who hit a couple of layups in the extra time session and completed with 12 focuses and seven rebounds.Fitzgerald hit every one of the four of her free tosses in additional time and helped with one of the Atkinson layups.
It helped the Owls fight off a lumpy exertion from an undermanned Memphis squad that aroused from 10 focuses down in the second half, and constrained extra time at the ringer on a three-pointer by junior Cheyenne Creighton that tied the amusement at 65.
The two groups tied a NCAA record with a five-extra time amusement here last February in a challenge won by the Tigers 100-97. The vast majority of the key players in that win are gone, however Memphis mentor Melissa McFerrin was awed by the balance and coarseness appeared by her present squad.
"So a considerable lot of them weren't a piece of the enormous wins we had a year ago getting to postseason, and we had an enthusiastic first month," said McFerrin, whose squad is 7-7 after a 3-6 begin. They had won four in succession coming into Sunday's amusement, topped by a 75-59 defeat of Vanderbilt which, similar to Sunday's diversion, was carried on the ESPN systems. "In any case, these children secured, made some immense shots, and other than not making sense of how to stop the entrance or their posterior bounce back, I can't be troubled with this exertion."
Taylor Williams, one of two seniors on the Tiger squad, had 20 focuses and hit an amusement tying three-pointer late in the second half. Point monitor Brea Elmore included 17 focuses and five helps before fouling out in the additional period. What's more, Creighton included 15 focuses and a group high eight bounce back.
"We have to work at finishing off better, and that the little plays matter," Creighton said.
"It was an awful misfortune," Williams included, "however a lesson learned."
However, toward the end of the capacity of Fitzgerald to drive the path and dish, and a 50-36 bouncing back edge was Memphis' demise, as Tonya Cardoza turned into Temple's most dominating mentor (173-104). It was the fifth win consecutively for the Owls – and the fourth straight year they've topped Memphis to begin AAC play.
"Feyonda had some gigantic details and we required each and every piece of them," Cardoza said. "Be that as it may, you take a gander at the sheet and heaps of our players came up enormous when it was required."
Senior monitor Alliya Butts sponsored Fitzgerald with 16 focuses. Ruth Sherrill included 11 focuses and 11 bounce back and Donnaizha Fountain included 11 focuses and 10 sheets.
"We get settled, and begin tossing the ball everywhere," said Fitzgerald, whose group had 15 turnovers, 10 off Memphis takes — five by Tiger junior Breigha Wilder-Cochran.
