Note from tonight's Temple game

 

Fran Dunphy's Owls take on Steve Fisher's San Diego State Aztecs tonight in Tucson, Ariz. The last time Dunphy and Fisher coached against each other? December 13, 1994, when current Temple assistant Shawn Trice found current Penn head man Jerome Allen for the game-clinching bucket in the Quakers' 62-60 upset of then-No. 25 Michigan. That Wolverines team featured just two of the Fab Five - guards Ray Jackson and Jimmy King - after Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose and Chris Webber left for the NBA in 1993.

Another note in Penn history: yesterday marked the 17th anniversary of Dunphy and Allen's 1994 upset of Nebraska in the NCAA tournament. Allen posted 18 points and 10 assists in Penn's 90-80 victory, which remains its last tourney win.
