Temple Owls
The Temple Owls recently ended a 10-game losing streak with a victory over UTSA, and now they are looking to break their seven-game losing streak on the road in their upcoming game. In their last game, they scored 83 points with strong performances from Hysier Miller, Steve Settle III, and Jahlil White. However, their defense has been struggling, allowing an average of 74.9 points per game. With a power ranking of 211 and a record of 9-17, Temple ranks low in offensive and defensive statistics, particularly in field goal percentage and three-point shooting. They will need to improve defensively in order to secure a win in their next game. BOOM! #Team128 pic.twitter.com/ewvSlMCFfw
