Couple quick things:
1. Has anyone else in the history of basketball missed put backs, gotten his or her own rebound a couple times and eventually scored? Because according to announcers, only Moses Malone did it.
How many times has this event happened and you immediately hear "padding those rebounding stats!....Moses Malone!"
2. Jeff Dooley & Adam Finkelstein with a tremendous job of saying the word "basketball".
First half: said 15 times
Dooley - 12
Finkelman - 3
Second half: 20
Dooley - 16
Finkleman - 4
Totals: 35 (average .87/game minute)

Game 222 - New Hampshire at Temple
November 14 at Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA
ESPN
We've got a handful of things to get to from this 57-52 New Hampshire win.
1. The Wildcats have been playing basketball for a long time, but didn't have a 20-win season until last year and have never been to the NCAA Tournament. So Monday's victory had to have been one of the biggest in school history. NH trailed 52-51 with just under two minutes to play, but Jaleen Smith followed with a jumper in the paint and the visitors never trailed again.
New Hampshire, which lost in the semis of the America East tournament in March, then won a game in the CIT, should once again be a factor in the league race.
2. Temple junior Obi Enechionyia led everyone with 20 points on 8-of-17 shooting, and his baseline post game, which included a number of pretty jump shots, looked especially good. Keep polishing that jumper & add some more bulk and Enechionyia could be a late-first round draft pick if he decides to come out after this year.
3. The Scoochie Smith All Stars added a pair of new members in Temple sophomore guard Shizz Alston Jr., and our first referee, Doug Shows.
4. A couple other "firsts" for the new season:
* First "glue guy" came at the 9:42 mark of the first half
* First "pick and pop" at 7:07 of first half
5. Also said: "he's a long offensive product."
