Something tells me Fran Dunphy is going to have his players taking plenty of free throws at practice this week.

Had they simply made a few on Tuesday night, Temple would be celebrating a great early season victory.

The Owls hit just 6-of-13 free throws against Georgetown, dropping a heartbreaker, 46-45 to the 20^th ranked Hoyas in.

While plenty of players had their hands in the free throw futility, it was Raymone Moore’s miss that was the most glaring. With Temple up one with 23 seconds left Moore missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Greg Monroe put the Hoyas up for good with a layup with 6.5 seconds left.

The good news is that the Owls defense looked sharp, holding Georgetown to just 19 points in the fist half. The bad news is that the Owls scored just 13 in the fame.

A one point loss to a ranked team isn’t bad, but I’m not one to put too much stock in moral victories. The Owls had Georgetown on the ropes and never delivered the knockout blow.

Get your boys on the free throw line in practice Fran – 46 percent is not going to cut it
