One of the most decorated women's basketball players in Temple history, Candice Dupree starred for the Owls from 2002-03 thru 2005-06 and has her number 4 jersey retired, joining former great Marilyn Stephens' number 33 jersey in the rafters of McGonigle Hall as well as the Liacouras Center. Dupree is the Owls' all-time leader in field goal percentage (51.4%), and the 6-2 forward also ranks fifth on Temple's career list in points (1,698), sixth in rebounds (940) and is tied for second in blocked shots (218). The four-year starter was instrumental in helping the Cherry and White to its best three-year stretch in school history. Under her dominance, Temple won three conference titles, won 73 games, including a school-record 25 consecutive contests, and appeared in the national rankings in 27-straight weeks. Dupree also earned numerous personal accolades during her TU career. She was a two-time conference and Big 5 Player of the Year, a two-time conference Defensive Player of the Year, and as a senior in 2005-06 was named the Most Outstanding Player at the conference championship. She capped her collegiate career with Third Team All-America honors. The sixth overall pick in the 2006 WNBA Draft, Dupree is a six-time WNBA All-Star. The Tampa, Fla., native was also a member of the US National Team that won gold at the 2010 World Championships.
