Temple senior guard Lynn Greer capped off a great individual week by being named the Big Five Player of the Week for the second straight week. The All-America candidate averaged 32.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists during a three-game stretch, including a career-high 47 points in the Owls' 70-67 double-overtime win at Wisconsin. His 47 points were the third highest single-game total in Owl history behind Bill Mlkvy (73 points vs, Wilkes) and Hal Lear (48 vs. Connecticut). Greer is currently second in the nation in scoring, averaging 27.3 ppg.
