Cats Win While Flyers, 76ers, Hawks & Explorers Lose
A day after the Eagles memorable 59-28 knockout of the Redskins Philly teams didn’t fair so well on the ice, court and field.
Let’s start with the positive from Tuesday.
The Top-10 ranked Villanova Wildcats improved to 2-0 with an 84-47 rout of Marist in the opening round of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
That’s where the good news ends.
The Flyers were shutout 3-0 in Montreal despite 25 saves from goalie Sergei Bobrovsky.
On the gridiron: a fourth-quarter rally wasn’t enough for Temple to beat MAC rivals Ohio as the Bobcats held on for a 31-23 win over the Owls. The loss dropped the Owls to 5-2 in the MAC and virtually ended Al Golden’s team’s hopes of a conference title.
