Alani Moore II’s first miss didn’t come until he attempted a stepback 3-pointer within the last two minutes of the first half.
The freshman guard started the game 5-for-5 from the field and had 15 first-half points on Thursday night at the Liacouras Center. He added 11 more in the second half to score a career-high 26 points and lead Temple (9-4) to a 83-77 win against Yale University.
“I just came out and hit my first shot and then after that you know just kept letting it fly and they started falling,” Moore said.
Neither team’s leading scorers factored much into Thursday’s game.
