Last-second shot earns Temple men's basketball long-awaited tournament win
Juan Fernandez's jump shot with 0.4 seconds left gave Temple a 66-64 victory over Penn State in the first round of the NCAA tournament . "So nice to see Juan make that shot," Temple coach Fran Dunphy said. "I had a good feeling when it left his hands that I thought it was going to go in. Might have been our time. That's all, just our time." The victory marked the Owls' first win in four consecutive tourney appearances. In the process, Dunphy snapped an 11-game tournament losing streak that dated to his 17 seasons at Penn. "I told the guys during one stretch of the game, 'We worked hard all winter, all summer and all fall before the season started. Why not win it for ourselves?'" junior guard Ramone Moore said."
