Quite a year for Temple hoops as the Owls closed out the regular season with a 64-56 victory over Tulane on the road, clinching the AAC regular season title outright. Both Temple’s men’s and women’s basketball hit the 20-win mark in back to back seasons.
Quenton DeCosey continued his strong senior season with a another game in double figures with 15 points and he certainly has strong case for being the AAC player of the year. Obi Enechionyia has been stellar down the stretch this season notching an 18-point performance against Tulane.
Jaylen Bond continues to be a monster inside getting his ninth double-double of the year with 10 points and 16 rebounds. Josh Brown dished out nine assists and Devin Coleman contributed some key points off the bench as he’s done all year.
Hats off to Temple coach Fran Dunphy who piloted an incredible season that not many saw coming. Hopefully Temple can get in the NCAA Tournament this year and do some damage.
Temple has the number one seed in the conference tournament in Orlando. The Owls will play the winner of East Carolina-South Florida on Friday March 11th at noon on ESPN2.
