Lavoy Allen lead the way with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Ramone Moore lead the team with 17 points.
Temple continue to claw their way back after facing an early deficit, but they took some poor shots down the stretch.

The Temple Owls football program was dealt a big blow with the news that Al Golden will take the job at Miami.
Golden had helped turn around a Temple football program that was an embarassment up until a couple of years ago.
Without Golden, the Owls will have to go back to the drawing table and begin a search for a new head coach.
The school can only hope that bringing in a new coach will not halt the momentum of the program. (Read More…)

The Temple Owls have given head football coach Al Golden a five-year contract extension through 2014.
Financial terms have not been disclosed, but it’s likely that some type of small raise was involved.
Golden led the team to a 9-4 record and a trip to the EagleBank Bowl last season, a big step forward for the program.
It was the team’s first winning record since 1990 and their first bowl game in more than 30 years.
Temple’s program had been a laughingstock for a number of years before the school brought in the head coach.

The Temple Owls shared the Atlantic-10 regular season conference crown, ran through the conference tournament on its way to that title, and closed the season with 10 straight wins. They also beat Villanova, one of the Big East’s best teams.
How did the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee reward their outstanding season? With a No. 5 seed.
Temple fans, get on your soapbox.
The Owls seem to be woefully under-seeded, and as a result have to take on a similarly under-seeded Cornell team that won the Ivy League and sports a 27-4 record. The Big Red are very talented and now become the chic pick to spring an upset.
Apparently, a terrific year for the A-10 wasn’t enough to get Temple the respect it certainly deserves. The Owls are one of the best half-court teams in the country and can lock teams up defensively. But they’ll have to prove it yet again, against Cornell and then likely second-round opponent Wisconsin.

The No. 19 Temple Owls got off to a slow start Wednesday night against the visiting Duquesne Dukes, sparking an outburst from head coach Frank Dunphy demanding better focus and discipline. The message seemed to get through to his players, as the Owls quickly bounced back in what turned out to be an easy 76-60 victory.
Despite a lackluster performance from most of its starters, Temple controlled the game and scored with ease. The bench contributed 39 points to pick up the slack, with center Lavoy Allen doing the rest, recording 14 points and 15 rebounds. The Owls sizzled from the floor, shooting 57 percent for the game.
Temple has won eight of its past nine games to remain a half-game behind Xavier for first place in the ultra-competitive Atlantic 10. The Owls figure to be tested on Saturday, though, when they visit Richmond to take on the Spiders, who are 6-2 in the conference and very much in the conversation for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The No. 16 Temple Owls continued their resurgence in the Atlantic 10 with a 77-72 win over the Xavier Musketeers.
It was a close game all the way. Temple took a five-point lead into halftime, but could not increase it in the second half.
The Owls grabbed just 23 rebounds, but they shot almost 50% from the floor. They also only had 12 turnovers.
Senior guard Ryan Brooks led the team with 22 points, and three other players reached double figures in scoring.
All of the sudden, Temple basketball is back on the map under head coach Fran Dunphry.

The Temple Owls finally found out who they’ll be facing in Dec. 29th’s EagleBank Bowl in Washington, D.C.: the UCLA Bruins, who clinched a spot with Navy’s defeat of Army over the weekend.
The Owls haven’t played in a postseason bowl since 1979. They’ll face a Bruins teams that went 6-6 in the regular season. Interesting to note is that before UCLA hired current coach Rick Neuheisel in December 2007, Temple head coach Al Golden actually interviewed for the vacant position before withdrawing his name from consideration.
Temple has a realistic shot of winning this game. UCLA doesn’t possess a potent offense, so the Owls should be able to keep it close. The Bruins do have a talented defense, though, so expect points to be scarce in this affair. Still, Temple couldn’t have asked for a more beatable opponent as it continues to build its football program back to respectability.
