Temple ends win streak at Charlotte

Frustrated by Charlotte's trapping zone, Temple (17-4, 5-1) coughed up a 10-point first-half lead and shot 35 percent in losing for only the second time in 15 games.
Chris Braswell added 14 of his 15 points in the second half and Shamari Spears had 11 points and nine rebounds for the 49ers (15-5, 5-1), who continued their turnaround season by one-upping one of the nation's top defensive teams.
Ryan Brooks hit five three-pointers and scored 20 points and Luis Guzman added a career-high 14 points for Temple, which fell into a three-way tie atop the league with Charlotte and idle Xavier.
Just 11-20 a year ago and without an NCAA tournament appearance since 2005, the 49ers have returned to prominence behind a trio of newcomers including the speedy Green. He hit four 3-pointers, the last with 33 seconds left that ended Temple's comeback hopes.
Charlotte fans, starved for success after the programs recent woes, swarmed the court after the signature win, cheering as coach Bobby Lutz addressed the crowd over the loudspeaker.

It didn't help. The 49ers played stifling interior defense while getting looks in transition. Dijuan Harris' acrobatic, behind-the-head pass in traffic to Braswell for a layup put Charlotte ahead 58-51 with 3:32 left.
The Owls, who hit 11 of 35 three-pointers, failed to take command of the conference in their first loss since falling to Kansas Jan.2.
Fernandez's first field goal, a three-pointer with 2:36 left, cut the 49ers' set off to 60-56. But Green's three set off a confetti-filled celebration at Halton Arena.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jermaine Beal scored 25 points and No. 21 Vanderbilt won its 10th straight game with an 85-76 victory over No. 14 Tennessee on Wednesday night.
It was the first win for the Commodores (16-3, 5-0) in Knoxville in five tries, and Tennessee's first loss at home this season. Vandy is off to its best start in the SEC since 1966 and has grabbed control of the league's Eastern Division.
The teams traded the lead until a 3-pointer by Brad Tinsley with 8:42 left put Vanderbilt up 59-56, a lead it did not relinquish.
Beal hit a layup and two threes in less than a minute to give Vanderbilt control with a 74-60 cushion with 4:58 remaining.
J. P. Prince led Tennessee (15-4, 3-2) with 22 points, and Wayne Chism grabbed 10 rebounds, Scotty Hopson scored 14, while Bobby Maze added 12.
The longtime state rivals were physical with each other, and the referees made sure to call every reach in or push they saw.
The teams were tied at 39 when Vanderbilt's Andre Walker tangled with Prince under the Volunteers' basket. Walker was tagged with a foul for elbowing Prince, but both earned a technical for the words they exchanged.
Prince followed up his technical with a three-pointer and an alley-oop dunk off a pass from Maze
Though Prince was not ejected, the constant fouls hurt Tennessee more than Vanderbilt. Hopson and Kenny Hall, one of the Vols' few post players, quickly picked up their third and fourth fouls after halftime and spent much of the second half on the bench.
And even though both teams were called for 23 fouls, Vandy was more poised at the free throw line, making 21 of 29 attempts compared to Tennessee's 14-of-24 shooting from the charity stripe.
Vanderbilt shot 50.9 percent from the floor, the 11th time this season the Commodores have hit more than half of their shots.
