A star performer for the Owls from 1997 through 2002, Lynn Greer ended his career as the program's second all-time leading scorer with 2,099 points.  The 6-1 guard turned in one of the best offensive season-ever in Temple men's basketball history as a senior in 2001-02.  That year he averaged 23.2 points, scoring 719 points (3rd on the TU single-season list), while earning first team all-conference, all-district and Philadelphia Big 5 Most Valuable Player honors.  The Philadelphia native (Engineering and Science HS) also set still-standing school records for single-season three-point accuracy (.472) and career free throw percentage (.852).  Temple's all-time leader in games played (137), Greer was a member of four NCAA teams, including two Elite Eight trips (1999, 2001), and one NIT Final Four (2002) in his career.  Upon graduation, he played one season in the NBA and went on to a 12-year professional career overseas.
